How Much Does Vietnam Airport Lounge Access Cost? Domestic vs International Lounges

Last Update: Tuesday January 13, 2026

When discussing lounge access costs, there are several variables:

Domestic vs International terminal — lounges in international terminals tend to be more premium, bigger, more amenities, and thus more expensive.
Airline status / class of ticket — Business class, First class, or elite frequent flyer status often gives free access.
Pay-per-use / walk-in access — possible in many airports; price depends on lounge, facilities, whether a buffet is offered, etc.
Membership / credit card / Priority Pass etc — many lounges accept these, sometimes at a reduced or negotiated rate.
Time of usage & duration — some lounges charge by duration, or have maximum stay times.
