Republic Lounge

The Republic Lounge is an exclusive amenity for Republic Airways customers, available at its four hub airports. You can access this lounge by paying an annual fee of $549 or a single-visit fee of $99. An annual membership entitles you to bring two adult guests and any number of children under 18, as long as they are part of the same booking. A single-visit pass only covers one person, regardless of age.

The lounge offers a variety of refreshments and snacks for your enjoyment. You can indulge in unlimited alcoholic drinks at the bar, or choose from a selection of non-alcoholic beverages at the buffet. The buffet also features a range of food options, from salads and sandwiches to hot dishes and desserts. Don’t miss the self-serve soft serve ice cream machine, where you can create your own cones with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or latte flavors.

The lounge has a comfortable and spacious seating area, where you can relax, work, or socialize. You can also opt for the open seating bar and lounge, where you can mingle with other travelers and watch the latest news and sports on the TV screens. If you prefer a quieter spot, you can head to the window seats, where you can admire the views of the runway and the planes taking off and landing.
