How to get into lounges at CTU.
Chengdu Shuangliu is an airline- and alliance-led lounge airport: most lounges belong to Chinese carriers and open on SkyTeam, Star Alliance or oneworld status. If you don't hold status, several first-class lounges sell pay-in entry to all passengers, and DragonPass covers a pair of landside lounges before security in each terminal. Check whether your lounge is in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before you clear the checkpoint.
Airline & alliance lounges
China Eastern (SkyTeam) and Air China (Star Alliance) run their own lounges for premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders, and Sichuan Airlines serves its elite and premium flyers. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier rather than a membership.

Star Alliance
oneworldWalk-in day pass
Several CTU first-class lounges sell entry at the door — including First Class Lounge Piers C-D in Terminal 2, which welcomes all passengers for a fee regardless of cabin — so you can pay per visit without status or a membership.
DragonPass
DragonPass opens a landside lounge before security in each terminal — Airlines Lounge in Terminal 1 and Take a Nap Business Lounge and First Class Lounge 2 in Terminal 2 — useful if you arrive early and want to settle before the checkpoint.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the pay-in First Class Lounge near gate 101 in Terminal 1's international pier. Coverage is narrow at CTU, so check the per-lounge page before relying on it.

Use landside time

- —Take a Nap and Take a Nap Business Lounge are built around rest and sleep pods if you want to nap rather than dine.
