Peshawar Bacha Khan International Airport (PEW): Paid Access Lounge Guide

Bacha Khan International Airport (PEW) serves Peshawar in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, with domestic flights and international connections across the Middle East.

The airport has 1 main passenger terminal, with domestic and international departure areas. Lounge directories sometimes describe these as separate terminals, but the distinction that matters when buying access is your flight type.

PEW has 2 paid-access departure lounges, both named CIP Lounge: 1 for domestic passengers and 1 for international passengers. You do not need a business class ticket to use either.

This guide covers both lounges, including their locations, facilities, and paid access options. Both focus on light refreshments and the essentials for a wait before boarding.

The airport has 1 main passenger terminal, with separate domestic and international departure areas.

Domestic flights stay within Pakistan; international flights leave the country.

Both lounges are airside, meaning you must clear the relevant departure checks before reaching them.

Book CIP Lounge (Domestic) for a domestic departure and CIP Lounge (International) for an international departure.
