Where we'd actually go.
Saphire Lounge
Of Palembang's two lounges, the Saphire Lounge is the most flexible — it takes DragonPass and Priority Pass and also sells a walk-in pass, so most travellers can get in without airline status. It sits landside in the Domestic Terminal near Gate 1, with Wi-Fi, air conditioning and power at most seats.
Saphire Lounge
The Saphire Lounge is the only pay-per-visit option at PLM — a walk-in fee of around US$16 buys up to three hours, with children under two free. It's the route in if you don't hold a lounge membership or SkyTeam status, and it's reachable before security in the Domestic Terminal.
Syailendra Executive Lounge
The Syailendra Executive Lounge is Palembang's airline-access option, admitting SkyTeam Elite Plus status holders and Business or First Class passengers. Set in the waiting-room area, it offers a quiet space with a cold buffet, soft drinks, a TV room and a small business centre before departure.
