Terminal 2's Priority Pass lounge — a bar, cold buffet and power at seats.

About this lounge

The Premium Lounge (Departures) sits airside in Zanzibar's Terminal 2, the older of the airport's two passenger buildings. It's an independent contract lounge reached on Priority Pass, and is effectively the Priority Pass version of the DragonPass-accessed Premium Lounge in the same terminal — same brand, broadly the same fit-out, just a different membership at the door. 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. If you're carrying Priority Pass and departing from Terminal 2, this is the natural choice; DragonPass holders should head to its sister lounge nearby.

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