Premium Lounge
★3.2(123 reviews)CAN · Terminal 1 · airside
Terminal 1's most flexible lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass, oneworld or pay-in.
The Premium Lounge in Terminal 1 at Guangzhou Baiyun International is the most flexible lounge at the airport. It sits airside in Concourse A, East Pier 1, near the international gates A01–A06, beside the duty-free shop. Access is unusually broad — DragonPass and Priority Pass members are welcome, oneworld passengers can use it, and it also accepts pay-in customers, so most travellers leaving from Terminal 1 can get in one way or another. The lounge offers a hot and cold buffet, a bar with alcoholic and soft drinks, shower facilities, Wi-Fi and a business area, in a contemporary setting with comfortable seating. A maximum two-hour stay applies, in line with the other contract lounges at CAN. For its mix of access routes and full buffet, it's the default recommendation for Terminal 1 international departures.
