Hey fellow travelers! Olivia here. ♀️ As someone who’s practically living in the skies, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing many airport VIP lounges worldwide. Today, let’s dive into the world of Douala Airport’s (DLA) VIP lounges and what they offer.
Air France Lounge: Nestled right next to the check-in area, this lounge is a serene spot to relax between 6:30 pm and 10:30 pm. Expect Wi-Fi, fresh reading materials, and tasty snacks. Who gets in? Those with a Flying Blue Gold, Platinum, Silver, or Ivory membership, or if you’re traveling first class or business class with Air France and other SkyTeam airlines.
