How to get in

Priority PassListed as sez1-payanke-lounge; passenger types International and Domestic; hours 04:00–23:59 daily; max stay 3 hours; children under 2 admitted free; same-day boarding pass required for cardholders and guests; unlimited guests per cardholder subject to capacity; à la carte menu requires extra payment; adjacent children’s play area; digital card accepted; disabled access; no smoking including vaping; no dress code.

The honest take

Payanke Lounge is the Priority Pass landside lounge at SEZ, located on the 1st Floor of the Domestic Terminal before security and passport control.\n\nHours on PP (research day 2026-09-19): 04:00–23:59 daily; maximum stay 3 hours; children under 2 free; cardholders and guests must show a confirmed same-day boarding pass; unlimited guests per cardholder subject to capacity; à la carte food requires extra payment; separate children’s play area next to the lounge; digital cards accepted; disabled access; no dress code; no smoking including vaping.\n\nVerdict depends: long landside hours help early Mahé mornings, but it is not an airside international club and F&B is partly paid.
