Bliink x Plaza Premium: Airport Lounge Access for Business Trips
Home / Resources / Travel Management
Bliink has partnered with Plaza Premium Group so companies can book airport lounge access for their travellers together with flights and hotels, starting with selected lounges in Jakarta and Singapore.
Bliink has partnered with Plaza Premium Group so that companies can book airport lounge access for their business travellers through Bliink, in the same place they book flights and hotels. The service starts with selected Plaza Premium lounges in Jakarta and Singapore, with each booking issued as a digital voucher that the traveller shows at the lounge.
For many companies, lounge access has always sat outside the travel booking process. Some executives use a credit card benefit, others pay at the counter and claim it back later, and some simply wait at the gate. Bringing lounge access into Bliink makes it part of the trip plan, visible to the company and covered by the same invoice.
Through the partnership, Bliink can offer access to Plaza Premium lounges as part of a corporate trip. When a company books a lounge visit for a traveller, Bliink issues an e-voucher with a QR code that the lounge team can scan on arrival.
The service begins with selected lounges in Jakarta and Singapore, two of the busiest business routes for Bliink's clients. In Jakarta, that includes the Saphire Plaza Premium Lounge at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, which serves international departures from Terminal 3. More locations are planned as the partnership develops.
Plaza Premium Group is an airport hospitality company founded in Hong Kong in 1998. It runs its own Plaza Premium Lounge and Plaza Premium First lounges, along with other airport services, and works with partner lounges around the world. Its lounges have been recognised many times in the Skytrax World Airline Awards for independent airport lounges.
For business travellers, that experience matters. A well-run lounge offers a quiet place to work, reliable Wi-Fi, food and drinks, and often showers, all before a flight.
Airport time is often the least productive part of a business trip. Travellers arrive early to be safe, then wait in a crowded terminal with little space to work or rest. Lounge access turns that time into something useful.
A lounge gives travellers a table, power, Wi-Fi and enough quiet to take a call or finish a presentation. For executives with back-to-back meetings, an hour in a lounge can be an hour of real work.
Before an overnight flight or after a long connection, a lounge offers food, a comfortable seat and sometimes a shower. Travellers arrive at their destination in better shape for the next meeting.
When a flight is delayed, a lounge is a much better place to wait than a busy gate. It gives the traveller space to rearrange meetings while the person managing the trip sorts out the rebooking.
Lounge access is booked as part of the trip, in a few simple steps:
The company or travel coordinator adds lounge access to a traveller's trip through Bliink, choosing an available Plaza Premium lounge on the departure route.
Bliink confirms the booking and issues an e-voucher with a QR code in the booking confirmation.
The traveller receives the voucher before the trip, together with their flight and hotel details.
At the lounge, the traveller shows the QR code and their boarding pass. The name on the voucher needs to match the name on the boarding pass.
The lounge visit appears on the company's Bliink invoice with the rest of the trip.
A few quick checks make sure the lounge visit goes smoothly:
The name on the voucher matches the traveller's boarding pass exactly
The voucher is for the right airport and the right terminal for the departing flight
The lounge is open at the time the traveller will be there
The traveller knows how long the access lasts
The voucher is saved on the phone or printed before leaving for the airport
The boarding pass is ready to show at the lounge reception
For HR and finance teams, the main benefit is control. Lounge access can now be written into the travel policy, for example for long-haul flights, overnight trips or senior roles, and booked within those rules rather than claimed back afterwards.
It also means one less receipt to chase. Because lounge access is booked through Bliink, it is visible from the moment it is booked and arrives on the same consolidated invoice as the flights and hotels, which keeps month-end reconciliation simple.
For travellers, it is simply one less thing to arrange. The lounge is part of the plan, the voucher arrives with the itinerary, and the time before a flight becomes time well spent.
Good business travel is made up of small moments that go right, and a calm hour before a flight is one of them. If you'd like to add lounge access to your team's business travel, have a chat with Bliink.
