First Class Lounge
RAB
Rabaul's airside lounge for oneworld and First Class flyers — Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a quiet wait.
The First Class Lounge sits airside at Rabaul Airport, the regional gateway for Rabaul and East New Britain in Papua New Guinea, located at Tokua. It's the more equipped of the airport's two lounges and is reached on oneworld Emerald status or a First Class ticket. Inside, you'll find Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a cold-food selection and a small business-centre setup — enough for a comfortable, productive wait before a flight. Open daily from 06:00 to 18:00, the lounge tracks the day's regional schedule, so it's worth checking the hours line up with your departure. As a compact lounge at a small airport, it's built for a relaxed pre-flight wait rather than an extended dining stop.
Crowding · generally quiet
A workable spot for light tasks before a flight, with Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a small business-centre setup. Fine for email and short work sessions, though it's a compact regional lounge rather than a dedicated business space.
The First Class Lounge offers a cold-food selection rather than a hot buffet — a practical spread for a regional airport. It's geared to a light pre-flight bite while you wait airside, in keeping with the lounge's compact size.
After clearing security in the main terminal at Tokua, follow signage to the First Class Lounge in the airside departures area.
