Sobre DAC

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) is Bangladesh's busiest gateway, and its lounges sit on the international departures side, reached after immigration and security. We track four: the Balaka Executive Lounge, the EBL SkyLounge run by Eastern Bank, the MTB Air Lounge, and the simpler Balaka Lounge. The Balaka Executive Lounge is the most flexible way in — it takes DragonPass, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire, and pairs a hot and cold buffet with a full bar, showers and a prayer room. The EBL SkyLounge covers SkyTeam and oneworld status near gate G3, while the MTB Air Lounge leans on Priority Pass and a paid walk-in for travellers without status. Most lounges are practical rather than lavish, so set expectations accordingly and clear the checkpoint before you head for one.

Best Overall

Balaka Executive Lounge

The Balaka Executive Lounge has the widest access at DAC — DragonPass, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire all get you in — and sits airside in Terminal 1, reachable from both terminals. It pairs a hot and cold buffet with a full bar, showers and a prayer room, making it the strongest all-rounder at the airport.

Best for Alliance Status

EBL Skylounge

The EBL SkyLounge, run by Eastern Bank, sits upstairs after immigration near gate G3 and welcomes SkyTeam Elite Plus and oneworld Sapphire passengers. With showers, a hot and cold buffet, Wi-Fi and a business centre, it is the go-to for status flyers on those alliances and is open around the clock.

Best for Priority Pass

Mtb Air Lounge

The MTB Air Lounge sits airside on the second floor of the International Terminal after security and welcomes Priority Pass members as well as any passenger willing to pay a walk-in fee, regardless of cabin. A reliable pay-per-visit option when you don't hold airline status.

Best No-Frills Option

Balaka Lounge

The Balaka Lounge is a simple, functional space on the departure floor for Star Alliance Gold passengers and business-class travellers. It's a quiet, no-frills spot for a quick respite before boarding rather than a full-service lounge — useful as a fallback when the executive lounges are busy.

Guia de acesso

Como entrar nas salas VIP em DAC.

Dhaka's lounges spread their access across alliance status, lounge memberships and paid walk-in entry. The Balaka Executive Lounge is the most flexible — it takes DragonPass, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire — while the EBL SkyLounge covers SkyTeam and oneworld, and the MTB Air Lounge leans on Priority Pass and a pay-at-the-door rate. Almost everything sits airside after immigration, so clear the checkpoint before heading for a lounge.

Lounge membership

DragonPass

DragonPass is accepted at the Balaka Executive Lounge, the most flexible lounge at DAC. If you carry DragonPass, that's your way into the airport's best all-round space, airside in Terminal 1.

DragonPass
Lounge membership

Priority Pass

Priority Pass is accepted at the MTB Air Lounge, on the second floor of the International Terminal after security. Check the per-lounge page before you travel, as Priority Pass coverage at Dhaka is narrower than the airline and alliance routes.

Airline status

Airline & alliance lounges

Star Alliance Gold passengers reach the Balaka Executive Lounge and the Balaka Lounge; oneworld Sapphire reaches the Balaka Executive Lounge and the EBL SkyLounge; and SkyTeam Elite Plus status opens the EBL SkyLounge. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.
