No.1 First Class Lounge
HFE
Hefei's most flexible lounge — SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Priority Pass, open round the clock.
The NO.1 First Class Lounge is the most flexible way into a lounge at Hefei Xinqiao. It sits in the domestic departures area opposite Gate A09 and accepts the broadest mix of access at the airport: SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers, Star Alliance Gold members and Priority Pass holders are all welcome, as are Business and First Class ticket holders on eligible carriers. It's also the only HFE lounge listed as open 24 hours, which makes it the default choice for early-morning or late-night domestic departures. Inside you'll find a hot buffet alongside snacks and cold options, a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits, Wi-Fi, TVs and flight information screens. As a regional-airport First Class lounge it's a calm, practical space to wait rather than a flagship showpiece.
Crowding · generally quiet
Fine for email and light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi and flight screens, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge and power at seats isn't guaranteed.
A complimentary hot buffet with snacks and cold options, plus a fuller bar than most HFE lounges — house wine, beer and spirits alongside soft drinks. A practical spread for a domestic departure at any hour given the 24-hour opening.
In the domestic departures area, the lounge is opposite Gate A09.
