Kuwait Airways' flagship lounge — First Class and Oasis elite members, attended hot buffet.

About this lounge

Opened in 2023, the Kuwait Airways Elite Lounge is the airline's flagship space at Kuwait International Airport. It welcomes Kuwait Airways First Class passengers, Oasis Platinum members in any class of service, and Oasis Gold members when they're flying business class. The lounge is built around comfort and dining: there's a quiet seating area to settle in before a flight, and an elegant dining room anchored by a hot buffet. Service is a step above the self-service norm here — guests can help themselves, or order from an attendant who will plate their selection at the buffet. In keeping with local custom, Kuwait Airways does not serve alcoholic beverages, so expect soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee. As the airline's own premium lounge, it's the most consistent branded experience at KWI for eligible Kuwait Airways flyers. Our data doesn't pin the lounge to a specific terminal, so confirm the location for your departure on the day.

Food & drink

The dining is the highlight: an elegant dining room with a hot buffet, where you can help yourself or have an attendant plate your selection — a more hosted feel than the self-service norm at KWI. Per local custom, no alcohol is served, so expect soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee.
