Plaza Premium Lounge

Riyadh's most flexible independent lounge — Priority Pass, Star Alliance and oneworld.
Plaza Premium Lounge is the headline independent lounge in Terminal 1 at Riyadh King Khalid International, the terminal that serves foreign airlines and Star Alliance carriers. It sits airside after security and passport control, opposite Gate 108, and is the most flexible way in at RUH: Priority Pass holders are welcome, as are passengers with Star Alliance or oneworld status. The space follows the familiar Plaza Premium template — a contemporary design with warm lighting, plush seating and subtle Middle Eastern decorative touches, kept calm with soft background music. Large windows look out over the terminal while keeping a sense of separation from the floor below. With food, drinks and Wi-Fi and several access routes under one roof, it's the natural default for most international departures from Terminal 1.
Crowding · moderate
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.

A hot and cold buffet in the usual Plaza Premium style — hot dishes, lighter bites and snacks alongside coffee, tea and soft drinks. The selection suits both early and later departures from Terminal 1.
