EmiratesBeijing Capital Airport lounge tips
Check your terminal first
- —Air China, Star Alliance and most long-haul carriers use Terminal 3; SkyTeam carriers still at Capital and Hainan Airlines use Terminal 2.
- —Many China Eastern and China Southern flights moved to Beijing Daxing (PKX), so check the airport on your ticket.
- —T2 and T3 are separate buildings; you cannot walk between them airside.
Terminal 3 logistics
- —International T3E gates are reached by the APM train after security on level 4, so allow extra time.
- —The CIP International Lounge (T3E) stays open until 03:00, which suits Beijing's late long-haul departures.
- —Domestic T3C has three bookable lounges: Airport Club A2 and A3, both by gates C34–C35, and Trvok A1 near the C08–C18 gates.
Overnight and early flights
- —The two BGS Premier lounges, in T2 by gate 5 and in T3E near gate E19, and the Joy Rest Lounge (T3E) are the 24-hour options, all on Priority Pass.
- —The Cathay Pacific Lounge also opens 00:15–03:15 for Cathay's overnight departures.
- —Most bookable T2 lounges open 06:00–06:30 and close at 22:30, so very early or late T2 departures fall outside them.
