About lounge access

  • Lounge access is available only to the member to whom the lounge coupon was issued to. Lounge coupons cannot be used by traveling companions.
  • Lounges cannot be accessed if your JMB membership number was not provided when booking your flight or when traveling on inclusive tour fares (such as tours) for which JMB membership numbers cannot be registered.
  • Lounge access is available only at your departure airport.
  • Please note that lounge access may not be available when lounges are fully occupied.
