Where we'd actually go.
Plaza Premium Lounge
The Plaza Premium Lounge on the Main Terminal mezzanine is the most flexible option at PNH — it takes SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld status, welcomes business and first passengers, and sells a walk-in day pass, so it works for the widest range of travellers leaving Phnom Penh.
Plaza premium first
Plaza Premium First is the quieter, higher-tier room, reserved for Star Alliance Gold and first-class passengers. With soft lighting, Khmer-inspired decor and a calm, spacious feel, it's the most refined space at the airport when you qualify for it.
Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Lounge
The Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Lounge near gate 9 serves the airline's elite and premium passengers, with a hot and cold buffet and a full bar including house wine, beer and spirits — the most generous catering of the airline lounges at PNH.
Plaza Premium
The larger Plaza Premium Lounge on the 2nd floor between gates 9 and 10 has around 300 seats and a dedicated business centre, opening to Star Alliance Gold and business-class passengers — a roomy option that rarely feels crowded.

How to get into lounges at PNH.
Access at Phnom Penh runs mainly on airline alliance status and premium-cabin tickets, with the flagship Plaza Premium Lounge adding a walk-in day pass on top. There's no single membership that opens everything — check which lounge your status or ticket matches, as the Plaza Premium and Bangkok Airways lounges each serve different passengers.
Airline & alliance status
The flagship Plaza Premium Lounge admits SkyTeam Elite Plus, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire passengers; the larger Plaza Premium lounge and the First lounge are Star Alliance only. Present your status card with your boarding pass at the door.
SkyTeam
Star Alliance
oneworldBusiness & First class ticket
A business- or first-class ticket gets you into the matching lounge directly — business class for the main Plaza Premium and the larger Star Alliance lounge, and a first-class ticket for Plaza Premium First. The simplest route if you're flying premium out of Phnom Penh.
Walk-in day pass
The flagship Plaza Premium Lounge sells a walk-in day pass (around USD 45.95 per guest), so you can pay per visit without status or a premium ticket. Booking ahead online is usually cheaper than paying at the door.
Bangkok Airways lounges
The Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon and Boutique lounges welcome the airline's elite and premium passengers departing on Bangkok Airways flights from Phnom Penh. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier with the airline.
