Gold First Class Lounge
★3.5(1,816 reviews)NSI · Main Terminal
Yaoundé's oneworld lounge — airside, 24-hour, for Emerald members and first-class flyers.
The Gold First Class Lounge is the oneworld-aligned lounge at Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport, located airside in the main terminal after security. Access is limited to oneworld Emerald members and passengers travelling in first class on a participating oneworld carrier. It's listed as open 24 hours a day, which suits the airport's spread of departures, and offers complimentary snacks and soft drinks along with Wi-Fi. It's a quiet, comfortable space to wait once you've cleared the checkpoint — a regional first-class lounge rather than a large flagship, but a welcome retreat from the terminal for eligible oneworld passengers leaving Yaoundé.
