# Zayed International Airport (AUH) — Lounge directory

## Lounges

- [Diamond Lounge](/airports/auh/lounge/diamond-lounge.md) — Terminal A · depends · open: A private VIP-terminal product, not a credit-card lounge.
- [Etihad Business Class Lounge](/airports/auh/lounge/etihad-business-lounge.md) — Terminal A · worth-it · open: The clear choice when the Etihad ticket already includes it. Do not assume Gold status is enough.
- [Etihad First Class Lounge](/airports/auh/lounge/etihad-first-lounge.md) — Terminal A · worth-it · open: AUH's premium Etihad room. Economy cannot buy in; Business can purchase a First upgrade in Manage Booking when offered.
- [Etihad U.S. Preclearance Lounge](/airports/auh/lounge/etihad-u-s-preclearance-lounge.md) — Terminal A · skip · temporarily-closed: Temporarily closed. Etihad's live U.S. Preclearance page says the CBP facility is closed; U.S.-bound passengers clear immigration on arrival. Use the main First or Business lounge instead.
- [Pearl Lounge](/airports/auh/lounge/pearl-lounge.md) — Terminal A · depends · open: The only contract lounge at AUH. Practical for Priority Pass, but the card-holder wing crowds on the night bank and visits are capped at three hours.
