Paphos is Cyprus's second international airport, serving the west of the island and its popular resort areas, and it has a single, welcoming lounge that takes Priority Pass and lets anyone pay in. For a holiday flight home, it is a comfortable place to wait, whatever your ticket.
The Premium Lounge at Paphos
Paphos's lounge is the Premium Lounge, airside, directly opposite Gate 7. A helpful feature is that it welcomes all passengers regardless of airline or cabin class, so you do not need a business-class ticket to use it. It operates from two hours before every scheduled departure, matching the flight schedule, and offers a coffee corner and a self-service buffet with hot and cold beverages, light snacks, and premium alcoholic drinks, along with complimentary Wi-Fi and flight-information screens.
Access methods and day passes
Access is straightforward at Paphos. You can enter with a Priority Pass or similar membership, or simply pay the walk-in rate, recently around thirty euros per adult and fifteen euros per child. This pay-in option, open to any passenger, makes the Premium Lounge an easy choice for families and leisure travellers as well as members. Confirm the current walk-in price and your access method before you travel, since rates can change seasonally.
Amenities and tips
The Premium Lounge gives you a calmer, air-conditioned space with a buffet, drinks including alcohol, Wi-Fi, and flight screens, a welcome escape from a departures hall that fills quickly in the Cyprus summer season. Because the lounge opens two hours before each departure and space is finite, arriving in good time helps you get a seat at busy holiday-season waves. If it is full, the airside cafes are the fallback. Use the comparison below to weigh a membership against the walk-in rate for your trip, especially if you are travelling as a family.
