How to get into lounges at UIH.
Phu Cat keeps lounge access simple. The independent SH Premium Lounge is the workhorse — it takes DragonPass, Priority Pass and a walk-in day pass, so you can get in with a membership card or just by paying at the door. The Vietnam Airlines Lotus Lounge is reserved for the airline's premium-cabin passengers and eligible SkyTeam status holders. Always check the per-lounge page before you travel, as a small airport's hours and access can change.
