Where we'd actually go.
CIP Lounge
The CIP Lounge in the international departure hall has the widest access at PEW — Priority Pass, SkyTeam and oneworld all get you in — and it runs 24/7, so it works for the most travellers without needing a specific card or airline.
CIP Lounge (Int)
The CIP Lounge (Int) sits airside near gate 2 in international departures and is reachable on DragonPass. It has the fullest amenity set of the PEW lounges, including a business-centre area and power at the seats.
CIP Lounge (Dom)
The CIP Lounge (Dom) is the airside option on the domestic side, next to gate 5, and is reachable on DragonPass. The most useful lounge if you're flying within Pakistan from Peshawar.
Executive Lounge
The Executive Lounge is the walk-in option at PEW, sold as paid entry after security. A simple pay-per-visit route when you don't hold Priority Pass, DragonPass or airline status.
