Where we'd actually go.
Premium Lounge
The Premium Lounge in Terminal 1 has the widest access of any lounge at CAN — DragonPass, Priority Pass and oneworld all get you in, and it sells pay-in entry too. Airside near the international gates (A01–A06), it's the most flexible single option for travellers leaving from Terminal 1.
Easy-boarding Lounge
The Easy-boarding Lounge in Terminal 2 takes both DragonPass and Priority Pass and sits airside after security, opposite the China Southern lounge. A dependable membership-based option for Terminal 2 departures when you don't have airline status.
Star Alliance Lounge
The Star Alliance Lounge, opened in November 2024 on the top floor of the Terminal 1 Premium Lounge, serves premium and elite passengers on Air China, ANA, Singapore Airlines, Turkish, EVA Air and other Star Alliance carriers, with a floor-to-ceiling window wall, shower suites and a hot and cold buffet.
Sleeping In Airport Hourly Charged Passenger Lounge
The Sleeping In Airport hourly-charged lounge in Terminal 1 domestic departures is a pay-by-the-hour rest area open to all visitors, with or without a boarding pass — a straightforward pay-per-visit option when you just need somewhere to wait or rest.

How to get into lounges at CAN.
Guangzhou Baiyun is a strong membership-and-pay-in airport. DragonPass opens the widest set of independent lounges, Priority Pass covers a couple of the airside contract lounges, and SkyTeam, oneworld and Star Alliance status reach the airline-aligned lounges in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Several lounges also sell pay-in entry. Because the lounges are split across three terminals, confirm which terminal you're flying from before clearing security.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the widest set of CAN lounges, including the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Premium Lounges, the Easy-boarding Lounge, the landside Lounge for Airport Pass Members and the Terminal 3 L34 Lounge. It's the single most useful membership here.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass works at the Easy-boarding Lounge in Terminal 2 and the Premium Lounge in Terminal 1. Coverage is narrower than DragonPass, so check the per-lounge page and confirm the terminal you're departing from.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
SkyTeam status and China Eastern reach the China Eastern VIP Lounge and the Baiyun Business Lounge in Terminal 1; oneworld passengers use China Southern's Pearl and Premium Class lounges and the Terminal 1 Premium Lounge; Star Alliance status opens the Star Alliance Lounge in Terminal 1. Access follows your ticket and tier.
SkyTeam
oneworld
Star AlliancePay-in entry
Several Guangzhou lounges sell entry on a pay-in basis, including the Terminal 1 Premium Lounge and the hourly-charged Sleeping In Airport rest area in Terminal 1 domestic — so you can pay per visit without a membership or airline status.
Business & First class ticket
A premium-cabin ticket on China Southern, China Eastern, Hainan or a Star Alliance partner gets you into that airline's Guangzhou lounge directly — the simplest route if you're flying business or first out of CAN, with no membership needed.

Lead with DragonPass
- —DragonPass covers more CAN lounges than Priority Pass — if you carry only one, it's the better bet here.
- —Many of Baiyun's independent lounges are contract lounges rather than airline-branded, so the membership matters more than your airline.
- —Priority Pass is limited to the Easy-boarding Lounge (T2) and the Premium Lounge (T1) — confirm yours before you travel.
Mind the terminal
- —Baiyun's lounges are split across Terminals 1, 2 and 3 — pick a lounge in the terminal you're flying from.
- —Terminal 1 holds the airline and alliance lounges; Terminal 2 is China Southern's base; Terminal 3 is domestic.
- —Several lounges sit landside before security (the DragonPass reception, the T2 Airport Pass lounge) — useful before you clear the checkpoint.
Watch the stay limits
- —Many of the DragonPass contract lounges enforce a maximum two-hour stay — plan around it on a long layover.
- —The Sleeping In Airport lounge in Terminal 1 is charged by the hour, so it suits short rests rather than all-day waits.
- —Opening hours vary by lounge; some airline lounges run only until the last departure.
Match status to alliance
- —Flying SkyTeam? The China Eastern VIP Lounge and Baiyun Business Lounge in Terminal 1 are your lounges.
- —On oneworld? China Southern's Pearl and Premium Class lounges in Terminal 2, plus the T1 Premium Lounge, cover you.
- —Star Alliance status opens the dedicated Star Alliance Lounge on the top floor of the Terminal 1 Premium Lounge.
