Best Priority Pass lounge in Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar, Bali

There are currently two Priority Pass lounges in Ngurah Rai International Airport and they are located right next to each other in the Departure hall. They are Premier Lounge and T/G Lounge and I have recently wrote a review on each of them. If you are a Priority Pass holder with complimentary entry to either of these lounges, here’s what you should know.

Occupancy

I have visited both lounges in different times of day and found that Premier Lounge is always close to full occupancy while T/G Lounge tops out at about 70% occupancy.

Winner: T/G Lounge

Food

Unlike that of Premier Lounge, food from T/G Lounge is well replenished and is of higher quality. The live noodle station and made-to-order coffee made T/G Lounge the clear winner.

Winner: T/G Lounge

Privacy

As mentioned in my review on T/G lounge, it is more like a cafe than a business lounge. Having said so, Premier Lounge is not any different. A simple privacy test I like to do is check how many heads I can see by standing up from my seat. I am giving Premier Lounge the slight edge here.

Winner: Premier Lounge

Facilities

The only major difference between both lounges is shower facility, which is only available in Premier Lounge.

Winner: Premier Lounge

Overall winner: T/G Lounge by a mile

Conclusion

Unless if you spent the whole day running around Bali and badly need a shower, I don’t see any other reason to choose Premier Lounge over T/G Lounge.
