A SkyTeam and DragonPass lounge airside next to Gate 6 in Terminal 1C.
Asante Lounge is an independent contract lounge airside in Terminal 1C at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, on Level 1 next to Gate 6 after you've cleared passport control and security. It accepts SkyTeam status and DragonPass access, which makes it a convenient option for Kenya Airways and other SkyTeam passengers as well as DragonPass members departing from the 1C concourse. The lounge offers a contemporary, comfortable setting with a mix of seating zones, complimentary snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi — a calmer place to wait than the concourse before an international departure.
