Beginning this winter, passengers who fly in and out of Fort Wayne International Airport will have the opportunity to spend time in a more comfortable fashion in The Gateway Lounge by STAR Bank. The Gateway Lounge by STAR Bank is an exciting partnership between FWA and STAR Bank, giving passengers an elevated airport experience at their local airport.
The Gateway Lounge will be membership based and will have a number of amenities for business travelers and frequent flyers alike. The exclusive amenities include private restrooms, divided workstations, high-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary snacks, a separate public address system, private conference room, charging ports and outlets, and more! The lounge is the culmination of passenger feedback looking for a premium environment allowing for work and relaxation apart from the airport’s standard offerings.
The Gateway Lounge will operate during regular airport operating hours, with annual memberships available for frequent flyers and day passes on a first-come, first-serve basis. This amenity is exclusive to Fort Wayne International Airport as part of FWA’s continued commitment to enhancing the passenger experience. The lounge is owned and operated by the Airport Authority and is not restricted to any airline, credit card or other airport lounge loyalty program.
For access to the lounge, passengers who fly frequently will be able to purchase an annual pass. Those interested in becoming members of the Gateway Lounge will be able to access information and sign up to join through FWA’s website. A registration portal will be live on the airport lounge page in the coming weeks. Access to the Lounge will be “self-serve” through a digital membership pass. The Gateway Lounge will be open and accessible prior to the first flight out in the morning through the final arrival in the evening. An added bonus? The Gateway Lounge will be conveniently located next to FWA’s newest, local food and beverage spaces, Hop River Brewing and Bon Bon’s Coffee, with service directly to the lounge.
The Gateway Lounge is part of FWA’s East Terminal Expansion and Renovation Project, under Project Gateway, which includes the West Terminal Expansion, Parking Lot Rehabilitation, Renewable Solar Energy Project and Apron Improvement Projects.
