Medina (MED) airport lounges — which credit card gets you in

Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport runs 3 lounges we can put a source under. 66 of the 107 cards we track open at least one of those doors — 37 of them only if you clear a spend or tier gate. Below: every door with its terminal, hours, stay cap, guest fee and the exact cards that walk in. No "check with your bank".

Which card gets you in

Lounge access is not one thing — it is 3 different machines at this airport, and your card is on some of them and not others. Each block below is one machine: the doors it opens here, and every tracked card that carries it. A card in more than one block gets in more than one way.

Priority Pass

3 of 3 doors · 55 cards

A membership your card carries. The kit arrives by post, the door reads the membership — not the card.

If no card of yours opens a door

Not one door at MED publishes a walk-in price. That is not the same as "you cannot pay" — most desks will sell you an entry — it means no rate we can source, so we quote none. If a card below doesn't open the door, budget for a desk quote in local currency.

Worth doing the arithmetic before you swipe: a ₹3,000 walk-in is a bad trade against a card whose whole annual fee buys a season of visits — that comparison is exactly what the lounge-card ranking computes.

This is one airport out of 119 with a page of its own — the full map, every airport and every railway lounge we hold, is on the lounge map.
