Air China Premium Lounge
★3.9(420 reviews)DLC
A pay-in Air China lounge at Dalian — hot buffet, wine, beer and liquor without status.
The Air China Premium Lounge is the pay-in counterpart to Dalian's status-only Air China Lounge, giving travellers a way in without Star Alliance status or a membership card. It welcomes pay-in guests and offers a reasonably full spread for a walk-in lounge: complimentary snacks and a hot buffet, with soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor at the bar. That makes it one of the better-stocked pay-in options at Zhoushuizi International Airport. If you are flying out of Dalian but don't hold the status to reach the alliance lounges, paying in here is a straightforward way to enjoy a hot bite and a drink before your flight.
Crowding · varies with departures
A comfortable place to settle and do a little work before a flight. Fine for light tasks, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.
A fuller spread than most pay-in lounges — complimentary snacks and a hot buffet, with soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor at the bar. Enough for a proper meal and a drink before departure.
The Air China Premium Lounge is airside at Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport; follow the lounge signage after clearing security and ask staff to direct you to the Air China Premium Lounge.
