Red '74 TR6

We arrived DPS at 4pm on Tuesday 10/21. No lines at VOA. No bag xray leaving terminal. We were getting in our taxi at 5pm. I think we may have been able to get some "assistance" if we'd wanted to. Being first off the plane, a couple of guys walked with us and told us that the immigration lines were 2-3 hours long, but we ignored him. Did see someone step out of the immigration queue and follow an agent forward.

It now says...

I hope it does open next month so that I'll be able to visit the new lounge when I travel to Bali in March.

I am flying out on CX J to HK and a friend is on the same flight in economy... Can I bring the friend with me into the Premier Lounge, or whatever new lounge is available? Does having Priority Pass help?

Now that it is FEB15, the Priority Pass website no longer says "This is a temporary Lounge." And, instead of "Airside - the Lounge is located on the 3rd Floor, near Gate 4;" it now says "Airside - after Immigration proceed to the Duty Free Shop Area. Take the lift up to the Mezzanine Level." In whole, it now says:

Any really recent reports? Is the new lounge, in fact, complete and open?

The new Premier Lounge is OPEN. I am sitting in it as I post this. It is well appointed with a decent food selection.

I included a section on the new airport and the completed, permanent Premier Lounge in my recent TR, here: Denpasar Airport, Qatar Airways Check-In, & Premier Lounge.

I won't re-post the entire post; but, here are some excerpts:


The Premier Lounge overlooks the terminal and duty-free shops below. Upon entering, we found the lounge to be modern and relatively spacious with plenty of available seating. It was nicely decorated. The food offerings were decent both in taste and selection (although, some of the food offerings did seem to frequently run out and need to be replenished), including pasta offerings available for order from the bar, and standard drinks were available from either the refrigerator or the bartender. There were many different kinds of seating, all with adequate power outlet availability, and even a small business center. There was an even smaller massage “spa” room with services available for a fee. The restrooms included a shower stall.

We found a quiet corner booth and settled-in. The wifi was unfortunately slow, so, I didn’t get as much catching-up on-line done as I wanted before we had to leave. The lounge did have background music that was a little loud for my tastes, though, it was interrupted by periodic flight departure announcements. The air conditioning was blasting.

A few minutes before the scheduled boarding time printed on our boarding passes, we left the lounge and headed to our departure gate.

I recently spent a handful of hours in this lounge (using my Priority Pass Plus) while waiting on an after midnight departure. It was comfortable and the WiFi worked well. The music plays on a loop so you will hear the same songs over and over if you spend more than an hour inside. They do make departure announcements.

I sat near the kitchen and could easily see and smell when fresh noodles were made, or food was refreshed.

I also had access to the temporary Sky Team lounge (via my Elite status) that was setup down in the gate area near the departure gate for my GA flight. I spent less than an hour in this area and while it had refreshments, they were not as nice as those in the Premiere lounge nor was the atmosphere.

If that car park were in Jakarta it would be the greenest place in the city.

Can anyone shed any light on when we might expect a permanent SkyTeam/Garuda lounge at DPS?

Great photos - place looks better than it does in person - AirportBNB should hire you as their photographer.

Quick note from the Premiere Lounge in DPS (Cathay, many other airlines, and PriorityPass):

This lounge is pretty bad. Not enough seats; super-slow wifi, bathroom is shabby, seats are shabby, and the food is just not appetizing.

Staff is very nice, but that's all that can be said for it.

And it's the better of the two...

That's not good. For a pretty new airport, wow. I think there are actually three lounges right there. Is one new?

After I wrote my note, something dripped on my from a hole in the ceiling. Then I saw something was dripping on someone else from an AC vent. At least that makes sense - my drip was just from an anonymous hole. Who knows what is on the floor above.

So I left and I did realize that the lounge does have AC, which the terminal seems to lack in areas.

The older lounge was better, because you could at least step outside for some fresh air. At this point, I don't even bother with the DPS lounges. There's a restaurant on the left, close to the elevator that one steps out of when escaping this dreadful lounge, that is entirely passable.
