Japan Airlines' Terminal 5 lounge — a calm pre-flight base for premium and eligible passengers.
The JAL Lounge at Chicago O'Hare is Japan Airlines' lounge in the International Terminal (Terminal 5), located on the 2nd floor opposite Gate M7, airside after security. It serves premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders flying with Japan Airlines and its partner carriers, typically used by travellers on JAL's trans-Pacific service. The lounge has a calm, business-like feel, with a cold buffet, a bar serving wine, beer and spirits, a workstation area including desktop PCs, internet and Wi-Fi access, reading materials, TV seating and flight information. It's a practical, quiet base to settle in before a long-haul flight to Japan, and a good place to get some work done thanks to the dedicated workstation provision.
