Star Alliance

A Star Alliance option on the third floor of Dalian's international area.

About this lounge

The Airport Authority Lounge sits on the third floor of the international area at Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport and is one of the Star Alliance options on the international side. It welcomes Star Alliance Gold members and passengers travelling in business class on an eligible carrier. The lounge follows a contemporary design with comfortable seating, a cold buffet, alcoholic and soft drinks, magazines and a television area, plus a business corner for working before departure. Step-free access makes it usable for travellers with reduced mobility. It works well as an alternative to the nearby Air China and First Class lounges when you are flying Star Alliance out of Dalian's international gates.
