Where we'd actually go.
No. 1 First Class Lounge
The No. 1 First Class Lounge is the most accessible lounge at CIF — it sits airside opposite Gate 29 and takes DragonPass, so most travellers can get in without airline status. It's a quiet, air-conditioned spot with Wi-Fi, light snacks and soft drinks before a flight.
No. 1 First Class Lounge
If you don't have airline status, the No. 1 First Class Lounge is your route in. It's a DragonPass lounge that also sells a day pass at a modest walk-in rate for a roughly two-hour stay, so you can pay per visit rather than rely on a membership or ticket class.
Airport lounge
The Star Alliance lounge on the departure floor is the option for Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers flying an alliance carrier out of Chifeng. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier rather than a paid membership.

How to get into lounges at CIF.
Chifeng Yulong has just two ways in. The No. 1 First Class Lounge takes DragonPass and also sells a walk-in day pass, so you can pay per visit without any status. The separate Star Alliance lounge is opened by Star Alliance Gold status or a business-class ticket on an alliance carrier. There's no Priority Pass lounge here, so plan around DragonPass or your airline tier.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the main membership route at CIF, accepted at the No. 1 First Class Lounge airside opposite Gate 29. It's the simplest way in if you don't hold airline status, and the single most useful membership at this airport.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
The No. 1 First Class Lounge also sells a paid day pass at a modest walk-in rate, covering a stay of roughly two hours. That makes it a true pay-per-visit option when you don't have DragonPass or airline status.
Star Alliance status
The Star Alliance lounge on the departure floor admits Star Alliance Gold members. If you hold Gold tier with an alliance carrier, this is your route in regardless of your cabin.
Star AllianceBusiness class ticket
A business-class ticket on a Star Alliance carrier flying out of Chifeng gets you into the Star Alliance lounge directly — no membership required if you're travelling up front.

Pick by your access type
- —There are only two lounges here, so the choice is simple: DragonPass or a day pass points you to the No. 1 First Class Lounge; Star Alliance Gold or business class points you to the Star Alliance lounge.
- —There's no Priority Pass lounge at Chifeng, so don't count on Priority Pass to get you in.
Airside vs departure floor
- —The No. 1 First Class Lounge is airside, opposite Gate 29 — clear security first, then follow the lounge signage.
- —The Star Alliance lounge is on the departure floor; check which side of security it sits before you head through.
Keep expectations right-sized
- —Chifeng Yulong is a small regional airport, so its lounges are compact and calm rather than large or lavish.
- —Expect light snacks and soft drinks rather than a full hot buffet or bar — these are quiet spaces to wait, not dining destinations.
Timing your visit
- —Lounge access at the No. 1 First Class Lounge opens about 90 minutes before your flight, so there's little point arriving much earlier.
- —With a roughly two-hour day-pass window, time your entry to match your boarding rather than turning up the moment you clear security.
