Onde nós realmente iríamos.
Malabar Business Travel Lounge
The Malabar Business Travel Lounge is the most accessible option at FBM — it takes DragonPass and Priority Pass and also sells a walk-in day pass, so you can get in without airline status. It sits landside near entrance 2 in the main terminal, with a hot buffet, bar and air conditioning.
Malabar Business Travel Lounge
Malabar is also the only Lubumbashi lounge you can simply pay to enter. A day pass runs around 48 USD at the door, and it's open all day, making it the dependable choice when you don't hold a frequent-flyer tier or business-class ticket.
Jeffery Lounge
The Jeffery Lounge serves Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers, and is the better-equipped of the two status lounges — with a business centre, conference room, printing and TV alongside light refreshments. Open daytime hours only.

Como entrar nas salas VIP em FBM.
Lubumbashi has just three lounges, and the access split is simple. The Malabar Business Travel Lounge is the contract lounge — open to DragonPass and Priority Pass members and also sold as a walk-in day pass. The Jeffery and VIP Luano lounges are for Star Alliance Gold status holders and business-class passengers. Check whether your route is landside (Malabar) before you clear security.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the Malabar Business Travel Lounge, the landside contract lounge in the main terminal. It's one of the two memberships that open Malabar without a separate day pass.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass also gets you into the Malabar Business Travel Lounge. As with DragonPass, present your membership card with your boarding pass; coverage at FBM is limited to this single lounge.
Priority PassWalk-in day pass
If you don't hold a lounge membership or airline status, the Malabar Business Travel Lounge sells a walk-in day pass — around 48 USD per guest at the door. It's the only pay-per-visit lounge at Lubumbashi.
Star Alliance Gold
Star Alliance Gold status opens the Jeffery Lounge and the VIP Luano Lounge. Bring a boarding pass for an eligible flight along with proof of your Gold tier.
Star AllianceBusiness class ticket
A business-class ticket on an eligible carrier also reaches the Jeffery and VIP Luano lounges. This is the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Lubumbashi rather than relying on a frequent-flyer tier.

Know your access route
- —Only three lounges operate at FBM, so match your access before you arrive — Malabar for memberships and walk-ins, Jeffery and VIP Luano for Star Alliance Gold and business class.
- —DragonPass and Priority Pass both open Malabar; if you carry either, that's your simplest way in.
- —Without status or a membership, a walk-in day pass at Malabar is the only pay-per-visit option.
Landside vs airside
- —The Malabar Business Travel Lounge is landside, before the security check near entrance 2 — settle in there before you clear the checkpoint.
- —Use it for a meal and a rest, then leave time to get through security and to your gate.
Mind the opening hours
- —The Jeffery Lounge keeps daytime hours (roughly 08:00–17:00), so it may be closed for early-morning or late-evening departures.
- —The VIP Luano Lounge runs around the clock, a better bet outside normal business hours.
- —Malabar is open all day, useful across most departure banks.
Set your expectations
- —Lubumbashi's lounges are modest, practical spaces rather than flagship lounges — comfortable seating, refreshments and air conditioning.
- —Malabar offers the fullest spread, with a hot buffet and a bar; the status lounges lean lighter on food.
- —Give yourself extra time at the airport, as processing at FBM can be slow at peak.
