How to Access Airport Lounges With or Without a Credit Card

There are a few different ways to gain access to lounges at Terminal 3, whether or not you have a credit card.

Using a Credit Card

Many banks offer lounge access as a perk for certain credit cards. Premium cards such as Priority Pass, DragonPass, and LoungeKey typically include access to lounges worldwide, including those in Terminal 3.

Several Indonesian banks like BCA, Mandiri, BNI, and CIMB Niaga also provide complimentary or discounted lounge access for eligible cardholders. To avoid any confusion, always check your bank’s website or contact customer service for the most accurate information.

Without a Credit Card

Even if you don’t have a qualifying credit card, you can still enjoy lounge access. Most lounges allow walk-in access for a fee, which varies depending on the facilities offered.

You can also purchase lounge vouchers through travel service platforms, often at discounted rates. This is a convenient alternative for travelers who want lounge access without needing a credit card.

Additionally, loyalty programs such as GarudaMiles may offer free or discounted lounge access for members with higher tier statuses who have accumulated sufficient points or flight miles.

Things to Do Before You Board

While lounge access can make your wait more enjoyable, there are a few important things to remember before heading to your gate.

Check Your Boarding Time and Gate Location

Soekarno Hatta is a large airport, and some departure gates can be quite far from the lounges. Don’t get too relaxed and miss your boarding time. Double-check the time printed on your boarding pass and make sure you have enough time to walk to the gate without rushing.

Make Sure You Have All Your Belongings

Before leaving the lounge, check that you have all your items with you, including your passport, boarding pass, and personal belongings. Make sure your luggage is properly secured and locked.

Use the Right Luggage

To make your way around the airport more easily, choose practical luggage with 360-degree wheels. Lightweight and easy-to-maneuver suitcases are ideal for navigating large terminals or standing in immigration lines.
