How to get into lounges at KWE.
Guiyang is a membership- and alliance-led airport rather than a walk-in one. DragonPass is the most useful single membership here, opening the independent and contract lounges in Terminal 3. SkyTeam status adds the FirstClass VIP Lounge, while Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible Gold members use the Air China and First lounges. Check whether your lounge is on the international or domestic side of Terminal 3 before you clear security.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the most useful membership at Guiyang, accepted at the FirstClass VIP Lounge, the Skypearl Lounge on the international side and the VIP Lounge on the domestic side of Terminal 3. If you carry one membership for KWE, this is the one.
DragonPassSkyTeam
SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers on an eligible flight can use the FirstClass VIP Lounge in Terminal 3. It's the only SkyTeam-accessible lounge at Guiyang, and it also takes DragonPass.
SkyTeamStar Alliance
Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible Gold status holders are served by the Air China Lounge, the First lounge and the contract lounge in Terminal 3. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.
Star AllianceAir ChinaBusiness & First class ticket

Lead with DragonPass
- —DragonPass covers the most KWE lounges of any single membership — the FirstClass VIP, Skypearl and domestic VIP lounges.
- —Several of Guiyang's lounges are independent or contract lounges rather than airline-branded, so the membership matters more than your airline.
- —If you also hold SkyTeam status, the FirstClass VIP Lounge is your best bet — it covers both routes.
International vs domestic
- —Terminal 3 has an international side and a domestic side — the Skypearl Lounge serves international, the VIP Lounge serves domestic.
- —Pick the lounge on the right side of Terminal 3 for your flight before clearing security.
- —Domestic departures within China are the busier side of the operation at Guiyang.
Alliance travellers
- —Star Alliance premium-cabin and Gold passengers have the Air China and First lounges in Terminal 3.
- —SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers head for the FirstClass VIP Lounge.
- —Access to the airline lounges follows your ticket and status rather than a paid membership.
