Wellcome Lounge
★3.3(414 reviews)MED · Main Terminal · airside
Medina's most flexible lounge — SkyTeam, DragonPass, Priority Pass or pay-per-visit.
The Wellcome Lounge is the most flexible way into a lounge at Medina's Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport. It sits airside in the main terminal, reached after passport control and security and located near gate 8. Access is broad: SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers and Business or First Class SkyTeam travellers are welcome, as are DragonPass and Priority Pass members, and a walk-in day pass is sold from around USD 46 per guest if you don't hold any of those. The space is modern but understated, with comfortable seating arranged in clusters to encourage relaxation, soft warm lighting and a pleasantly low noise level. It's roomy enough to stretch out, kept cool by air conditioning year-round, and includes a dedicated children's play area that makes it a practical choice for families. With a maximum stay of around six hours, it suits both short connections and longer waits before a flight.
Crowding · busy at pilgrimage peaks
A calm place to catch up on email before a flight, with low noise levels, air conditioning and power at seating. It isn't a dedicated business lounge, but the quiet atmosphere makes light work comfortable.
