VIP Lounge
★3.5(799 reviews)CIH · Main Terminal · airside
CIH's only pay-per-visit lounge — DragonPass or a day pass, landside before security.
The VIP Lounge is the main pay-per-visit lounge at Changzhi Wangcun Airport, a small regional airport in Shanxi, China. It sits landside on the north side of the single terminal, before passport control and the security check, so you use it while you're still in the check-in area rather than after clearing security. Access is straightforward: DragonPass members are welcome, and the lounge also sells a day pass covering a stay of up to two hours, with a lower member rate for DragonPass holders. Inside it's a compact, quiet space with air conditioning and comfortable seating, soft drinks, and newspapers and magazines to pass the time. It's best thought of as a calm place to settle before a flight rather than a large lounge with an extensive buffet — a sensible upgrade on the public terminal seating at a smaller airport like CIH.
Crowding · comfortable
A quiet seat to wait, but not set up as a work lounge — there's no Wi-Fi or power listed at the seats, so it's better for relaxing than for getting work done.
Refreshments are simple and in keeping with a small regional lounge: complimentary soft drinks to see you through a short pre-flight wait. There is no hot or cold buffet and no alcohol served, so if you want a full meal it's worth eating before you arrive.
The VIP Lounge is landside on the north side of the Main Terminal, before passport control and the security check. Use it before you clear security rather than after.
