A calm Star Alliance lounge on Lanzhou's main departure floor.

About this lounge

The Airport Lounge at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport sits on the main terminal departure floor and opens to Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders. It offers a serene escape from the bustle of the terminal, with modern yet understated decor and comfortable lounge chairs arranged in clusters that create intimate seating areas. Soft, warm lighting enhances the relaxed atmosphere, and a muted color palette of beige and gray adds to the calming effect. Noise levels are generally low, making it an easy spot to unwind before a flight, and the room manages to feel spacious without being cavernous — striking a balance between openness and coziness. Occasional announcements are kept soft so they don't disrupt the calm. For Star Alliance travellers departing Lanzhou, it's a comfortable, low-key place to wait.

Quiet areasThe clustered layout keeps things quiet.

A quiet, comfortable place for light laptop work or email before a flight, helped by Wi-Fi and a calm atmosphere, though it's a relaxation-focused lounge rather than a business one.

Food & drink

A modest selection of light snacks and refreshments with hot and cold drinks, in keeping with an airline-aligned lounge of this size rather than a full-buffet flagship. Enough to keep you comfortable before boarding.
