About KRL

Korla Airport (KRL), officially Korla Licheng Airport, is a small regional airport in Bayingolin in Xinjiang, China, with a single main passenger terminal. Both of the lounges we track sit airside on the second floor of Terminal 2, after passport control and security. They're contract-style lounges rather than airline-branded ones: the First & Business Class Lounge is reachable on DragonPass, while First Class Lounge 01 takes Priority Pass and also sells pay-in walk-in entry, so you can buy your way in for a single visit without any membership. Both are modest spaces with Wi-Fi, soft drinks and flight information rather than large premium lounges, and the First & Business Class Lounge has a two-hour stay limit. If you don't hold DragonPass or Priority Pass, the pay-in route at First Class Lounge 01 is the simplest way in.

How we compile this guide

Sourced, never sponsored.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Korla Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Best for Pay-Per-Visit

First Class Lounge 01

First Class Lounge 01 is in domestic departures after security on the second floor, and it welcomes Priority Pass members and pay-in walk-ins — the route to take if you don't carry DragonPass and just want to buy your way in for a single visit.

Best for a Quiet Wait

First & Business Class Lounge

If you want the calmest seat at Korla, the First & Business Class Lounge is rarely crowded, with leather seating spaced for privacy and floor-to-ceiling tarmac views. On DragonPass, it's the quieter of the airport's two second-floor lounges for a pre-flight pause.

Insider tips

Know before you go.

01

Both lounges are airside

  • Both of Korla's lounges sit on the second floor of Terminal 2, after security — clear the checkpoint before heading up.
  • After passport control and security, the lounge area is up the elevator on the second floor, with clear signage.
  • There are no airline-branded lounges here, so plan your access around DragonPass, Priority Pass or paying at the door.
02

Match the lounge to your access

  • If you carry DragonPass, head for the First & Business Class Lounge.
  • If you carry Priority Pass or want to pay at the door, First Class Lounge 01 is the one to use.
  • Both are modest regional lounges — useful for a quiet sit-down, Wi-Fi and a soft drink rather than a full meal.
03

Keep your visit short

  • The First & Business Class Lounge has a maximum two-hour stay, so time your arrival to your departure.
  • These lounges are rarely crowded, but they are small — don't expect a large space or a hot buffet.
  • Drinks are largely soft and non-alcoholic; bring anything specific you need for a longer wait.
04

Plan ahead at a small airport

  • Korla is a regional airport with limited flights, mostly domestic — check whether your terminal and gate are near the second-floor lounges.
  • Free Wi-Fi and charging are available in the wider terminal too if the lounges are closed around off-peak hours.
  • If you're connecting through a hub like Urumqi, the lounge choice there will be wider than at Korla.
