How to get into lounges at KHH.
Kaohsiung's lounge access splits between airline-branded lounges and independent options. If you're flying EVA Air or a Star Alliance partner, the EVA Air Lounge is your route; China Airlines and SkyTeam passengers use the China Airlines Lounge. For travellers without the right airline or status, the Southern Premium Lounge accepts DragonPass, and the Plaza Premium Lounge offers a further option. All the lounges sit airside, so clear immigration and security first.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the independent Southern Premium Lounge in Terminal 1 airside — the most useful membership for travellers who aren't flying an airline with its own KHH lounge. Confirm current terms on the per-lounge page before you travel.
