CTU Terminal 1's landside DragonPass lounge, before security.

About this lounge

Airlines Lounge is a landside lounge in Chengdu Shuangliu's Terminal 1, on the 3rd-floor mezzanine before the security check. It's reachable on DragonPass, making it an easy entry if you carry the membership rather than airline status. Because it sits before security, it's a comfortable place to settle in early — handy if you arrive ahead of time and want to relax before joining the queue. Inside you'll find seating to rest or work, refreshments and Wi-Fi. Just remember it's landside, so you'll want to use it before you clear the checkpoint, not after. To reach it, take the escalator or elevator on the far left of the departure hall to the 3rd-floor mezzanine and follow the First Class/Business Class Lounge signs.
