Concordia Lounge

Food is “not too bad,” but this is a Spartan lounge

Concordia Lounge sits airside in Terminal 1’s domestic area at Juanda (SUB), and frequent flyers describe it as basic: useful if you already get in, not worth a special trip or early arrival. One FlyerTalk regular even calls SUB’s lounges “pretty decent” overall, but notes Concordia as more of a functional waiting room than a destination.

The lounge serves domestic Terminal 1 departures and is after security, so you clear screening first, then head toward the common lounge cluster near the gates. Reviews mention plenty of seating for the usual morning and evening banks of flights, but no sleep room, no quiet zone, and no business-class style work pods.

On food, one traveler says “food are not too bad,” which lines up with reports of simple hot dishes and snacks on a self-serve counter. Expect basic Indonesian options and light bites rather than premium restaurant plates; think buffet to tide you over before a Surabaya–Jakarta hop, not a full three-course meal.

Drinks typically run to soft drinks, coffee, tea, and standard juices; nothing in the research suggests barista coffee or a staffed bar. If you care about a specific brand, grab something from a landside café in Terminal 1 before security and bring only what you can carry through screening.

Multiple reports flag the lack of showers, with one FlyerTalk user explicitly saying, “I don’t think there’s a shower though,” and no counterexamples showing up elsewhere. If you are coming off a long train or car ride into Surabaya and need to freshen up before a domestic connection, build that time into your hotel checkout instead of banking on Concordia.

Access is usually tied to local Indonesian credit cards and lounge programs, so walk-up paid access in Terminal 1 may be hit-or-miss on any given day. Regulars treat it as a place to sit, snack, and charge a phone while waiting for a Lion Air or Citilink boarding call, not as a reason to arrive 2 hours early.

Practical tip: If your card or pass already covers Concordia Lounge in Terminal 1, use it for a seat, Wi‑Fi, and some quick food; otherwise, stick to the terminal and go straight to the gate about 45–60 minutes before departure.
