KIX Lounge Premium
★4.3(70 reviews)KIX · Terminal 1
An understated-luxury alliance lounge for oneworld and Star Alliance flyers.
KIX Lounge Premium offers a serene escape from the busy airport, located on the 3rd floor of Terminal 1 after passport control and near gate 21. It's an alliance lounge open to both oneworld and Star Alliance passengers, with sleek, modern decor and warm lighting that give it a softer, more upscale feel than a standard contract lounge. The seating areas are comfortable and generously spaced, creating a quiet, relaxing atmosphere with consistently low noise — ideal for unwinding before a flight. The design blends Japanese minimalism with contemporary elegance, leaning on subtle wood accents and soft, neutral tones. The overall impression is one of understated luxury: a calm, well-considered retreat for travellers who want a peaceful place to settle before boarding.
Crowding · generally calm
A calm, comfortable lounge for light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power and well-spaced seating. The quiet atmosphere suits email, reading and focused tasks, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.
An alliance lounge with a self-service refreshment spread — hot and cold drinks, soft drinks and snacks for a comfortable pre-flight pause. The mood is relaxed and unhurried rather than a large dining setup.
After passport control, head to the 3rd floor of Terminal 1; the lounge is near gate 21.
