Pearl Lounge
★3.1(319 reviews)KWI · Terminal 5 · airside
The widest-access lounge at KWI — every major alliance plus DragonPass and Priority Pass.
Pearl Lounge is the most flexible single lounge at Kuwait International, thanks to the widest access of any option at the airport. You'll find it airside in Terminal 5, next to boarding gate B1, after passport control and security. The list of ways in is long: SkyTeam Elite Plus, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire status holders, business and first class passengers, and DragonPass and Priority Pass members are all welcome. The space has a contemporary design with comfortable seating areas built for relaxing before a flight. On the practical side it's well-equipped — a hot buffet alongside snacks and finger food, a bar that lists alcoholic as well as soft drinks (less common at KWI), shower facilities, computer access and flight monitors. If you're flying from Terminal 5 and hold almost any membership or status, this is the natural choice.
Crowding · comfortable
Workable before a flight, with Wi-Fi, computer access, printing and flight monitors. Fine for email and light work; the bar and televisions make it more relaxed than a dedicated business lounge.
✓ Printer available
A hot buffet with snacks, finger food and fruit, served with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from the bar — a fuller offering than the dry contract lounges elsewhere at KWI. Vegetarian options are available.
