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.

Food & drink

A cold buffet of snacks and light bites alongside a bar serving alcohol, soft drinks and juices — a step up from the lightest Terminal 2 lounges, though still cold food rather than a hot buffet.

Insider tips

Make the most of it.

01

Access is DragonPass — bring your membership.

02

It's in Terminal 2 and airside, so clear security first.

It has a bar and cold buffet — fuller than the lightest T2 lounges, but not a hot buffet.

05

Arrive early at peak departures, as it's compact.
