Muscat Airport Lounges

• —Single terminal — all MCT lounges are in the same building

• —Primeclass takes the widest mix of memberships and status at MCT
• —Dedicated Oman Air and Primeclass arrivals lounges serve travellers landing in Oman

Priority Pass is accepted at the airside Primeclass Lounge on level 5. It's the most useful single membership for a Priority Pass holder departing Muscat, covering a full-service buffet, showers and a prayer room.

Priority Pass

DragonPass opens both the Primeclass Lounge on level 5 and the Majan Lounge on level 7. If you carry DragonPass, the Majan Lounge adds sleep pods for long layovers as well as the standard buffet and showers.

Oman Air runs its Business Class lounge for premium-cabin passengers and eligible oneworld Sapphire status holders, the Primeclass Lounge admits SkyTeam Elite Plus and Star Alliance Gold travellers, and the Premium Plaza Lounge serves Star Alliance Gold passengers. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.

A business- or first-class ticket on Oman Air gets you into the Oman Air Business Class lounge directly, and a Business Class ticket on a Star Alliance or oneworld carrier reaches the Premium Plaza and Primeclass lounges — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Muscat.

The Oman Air Arrival Lounge and the Primeclass Arrivals Lounge sell pay-in entry to travellers landing in Muscat, so you can buy access without any membership or status. They're for arriving passengers rather than departures — handy after a long-haul flight or an early-morning landing.

One terminal, different levels

• —Muscat has a single terminal, so you won't be choosing between buildings — but the airside lounges sit on different upper levels.
• —Primeclass and the Oman Air Business lounge are on level 5; the Majan Lounge is on level 7, reached by escalator or lift from duty free.
• —Clear passport control and security first — the departure lounges are all airside.

Pick by your membership

• —Priority Pass holders should head for Primeclass; DragonPass works at both Primeclass and Majan.
• —Majan adds private sleep pods, so it's the better choice on a long overnight layover.
• —Oman Air premium and oneworld Sapphire passengers have their own dedicated lounge on level 5.

Arrivals are covered too

• —The Oman Air and Primeclass arrivals lounges are for passengers landing in Muscat, not departing — don't confuse them with the airside departure lounges.
• —Both sell pay-in entry, so you can use them without a membership after you land.
• —The Primeclass Arrivals Lounge sits steps from the immigration hall and is handy if you arrive early before hotel check-in.

Timing & comfort

• —Muscat's main long-haul banks run late at night and early morning — the airside lounges are open around the clock to match.
• —Most departure lounges have a three-hour maximum stay, so time your arrival to your boarding rather than camping out all day.
• —All the airside lounges have a prayer room or quiet space and showers if you want to freshen up before a long flight.
