Terminal 2's well-rounded DragonPass lounge — bar, cold buffet and power at seats.

About this lounge

The Premium Lounge sits airside in Zanzibar's Terminal 2, the older of the airport's two passenger buildings. It's an independent contract lounge reached on DragonPass, and one of the better-equipped options on the Terminal 2 side. Inside you'll find an air-conditioned space with a bar, a cold buffet of snacks and light bites, Wi-Fi, power at seats, a TV and newspapers — enough to settle in comfortably ahead of a flight. It pairs naturally with the Priority Pass-accessed Premium Lounge (Departures) in the same terminal: same brand and broadly the same fit-out, but a different membership at the door. If you're carrying DragonPass and flying from Terminal 2, this is a solid, well-rounded pick.

A reasonable spot for light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at seats and air-conditioned seating. Fine for email and browsing, though it's a leisure lounge rather than a business one.
