MEA Cedar Lounge

Middle East Airlines' flagship lounge at BEY — Star Alliance, SkyTeam and Priority Pass.
The MEA Cedar Lounge is the flagship lounge of Middle East Airlines (MEA), Lebanon's national carrier and a member of the Star Alliance, at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport. It sits airside on level 2, reached after passport control and the security check, in the main departures area. Unlike a status-only airline lounge, the Cedar Lounge has unusually broad access for BEY: Star Alliance and SkyTeam premium and status passengers are welcome, and Priority Pass holders can use it too. The space offers a hot and cold buffet, a bar, complimentary Wi-Fi and a mix of seating for relaxing or working before a flight. For anyone flying MEA or a Star Alliance partner out of Beirut — or carrying Priority Pass — it's a natural first choice.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though not a dedicated business centre.
A buffet of hot and cold dishes alongside a bar with soft drinks, tea, coffee and the usual selection. The spread leans Lebanese and Mediterranean, refreshing through the day to cover MEA's morning and evening departure banks.
