Passport Club

$5 gets you into Passport Club between gates 10–12

By gate 11 in the Main Terminal, Passport Club is the one and only lounge at SAV, despite old references to multiple rooms. It sits between gates 10–12, past security, and feels more like a small corporate break room than a big-network club. If you just want a chair away from the main concourse noise and don’t care about premium frills, this is the play.

The lounge runs roughly with the first and last banks of flights, opening at 05:30 and closing at 19:00 daily. That timing works well for the early ATL and CLT departures and most evening returns. If you land after 19:00 on a delayed inbound, you’re back to gate seating and whatever is still open in the Main Terminal food court.

Access is simple: walk up in the Main Terminal concourse and pay the $5 day pass fee at the desk. This is an independent lounge, not tied to any single airline or credit card network. No Priority Pass, no elite shortcuts, just a cheap door charge that undercuts what you’d spend on a single drink or snack in the public area.

Expect basics at Passport Club: standard armchairs, small tables, power outlets in select spots, and light snacks rather than hot meals. Think chips, packaged items, and soft drinks instead of a full buffet or bar. If you want a real meal, grab something downstairs near the Main Terminal food options before walking down toward gates 10–12, then use the lounge as a quieter place to sit and eat.

LoungeReview calls it “solid” and “unfussy,” and that tracks with most comments on FlyerTalk’s “Passport Club at SAV” thread about this space by gate 11. No big complaints about crowds or cleanliness, but also no premium touches like showers, daybeds, or barista coffee. Treat it as an upgrade over the public gate seats, not as a mini Polaris.

Practical tip: buy the $5 pass only if you have at least 45 minutes between boarding times; under that, you’re better off grabbing a drink to go from the Main Terminal concessions and heading straight to your gate.
