4 Kuwait Airport Lounges (KWI): 2026 Guide by Terminal

Airport Hotels Nearby Team••6 min read

At Kuwait International, your airline decides your terminal, and your terminal decides your lounge. Kuwait Airways flies from Terminal 4, Jazeera Airways from Terminal 5, and most other airlines from Terminal 1. All four bookable lounges are after passport control and listed as open 24 hours.

Prices are for a 3-hour pass and can change. Terminal 1 was closed for repairs earlier in 2026 and reopened to airlines in phases from 1 June 2026, so confirm your terminal and that the lounge is open before you buy.
