Niamey Airport Lounges
Diori Hamani International Airport · Niamey, Niger
Diori Hamani International (NIM) is Niger's main gateway, and we track three lounges here. Two CIP-style lounges sit airside after security — one reachable on SkyTeam status, the other on oneworld — and the independent Blu Lounge sells a walk-in day pass. All are in the departures area, so you can settle in once you've cleared the checkpoint.

How to get into lounges at NIM.
Niamey is a small lounge field with three clear routes in: a SkyTeam lounge, a oneworld lounge, and one independent lounge that sells a walk-in day pass. There's no single membership that covers everything here, so match your route to your airline or buy in at the Blu Lounge.
Walk-in day pass
The Blu Lounge welcomes pay-in guests, so you can buy entry without airline status or an alliance membership. It's the most flexible option at NIM if you're not flying a SkyTeam or oneworld carrier.
SkyTeam status
The CIP Lounge By Radisson Blu opens to eligible SkyTeam passengers. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier, so confirm your SkyTeam eligibility before you travel.
SkyTeamoneworld status
The CIP Lounge in international departures serves eligible oneworld passengers. As with the SkyTeam lounge, entry depends on your cabin and alliance tier on the day.
oneworldBusiness & First class ticket
Flying in a premium cabin on a SkyTeam or oneworld carrier typically opens that alliance's CIP lounge directly — the simplest route in if you're travelling business or first out of Niamey.
