Where we'd actually go.
First Class Lounge No.2
First Class Lounge No.2 is the airside option at Baotou Donghe, opposite Gate 10 on Level 2, and is reachable on DragonPass. It's a quiet, minimalist space with snacks, soft drinks and flight screens — the most straightforward way in if you carry a DragonPass membership.
Airport lounge
The Airport Lounge on the departure floor serves Star Alliance Gold members and Business Class passengers, with tarmac-facing seating and a calm, modern feel. It's the route in if your status or ticket qualifies rather than a paid membership.
First Class Lounge Bav Gate
First Class Lounge Bav Gate sits opposite Gate 4 and welcomes both Priority Pass holders and walk-up pay-in guests, so you can get in without airline status or a DragonPass membership — the most flexible pay-per-visit option at BAV.
