Where we'd actually go.
Prima Vista Lounge
The Prima Vista Lounge has the widest access at PMO — DragonPass, Priority Pass and Star Alliance all get you in, and it sells walk-in entry too. It's landside near the main terminal entrance, with a hot buffet, a bar and comfortable seating, making it the default choice for most travellers leaving Palermo.
GESAP Lounge
The GESAP Lounge sits on the first floor near check-in Area A and serves Star Alliance passengers. It's a calmer, quieter space with a TV area and conference rooms, useful if your access comes through Star Alliance status rather than a lounge membership or day pass.
Prima Vista Lounge
If you don't hold a membership or airline status, the Prima Vista Lounge is the way in — it's the only PMO lounge that sells a walk-in day pass. Book online ahead of time for a cheaper rate than paying at the door, and you'll still get the hot buffet and bar.

How to get into lounges at PMO.
Palermo is a straightforward lounge airport. The Prima Vista Lounge does most of the work — it sells a walk-in day pass and also accepts DragonPass, Priority Pass and Star Alliance, so you can get in with or without a membership. The GESAP Lounge is reserved for Star Alliance passengers. Both lounges are in the single terminal, so the main thing to confirm is which one your access covers.
Walk-in day pass
The Prima Vista Lounge sells entry at the door, so you can pay per visit without any membership or airline status. Booking ahead online is usually cheaper than paying on arrival and guarantees a spot at busier times.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the Prima Vista Lounge, the landside lounge near the main terminal entrance. Present a valid Priority Pass card with your boarding pass.

DragonPass also opens the Prima Vista Lounge at PMO. If you carry DragonPass, it's a simple way into the airport's most flexible lounge without paying a walk-in rate.
