Nanchang Airport Lounges
Nanchang Changbei International Airport · Nanchang, China
Nanchang Changbei International (KHN) is the main gateway to Jiangxi province, and we track six lounges across its terminals. Most sit in Terminal 2 and open on DragonPass, Priority Pass or alliance status, with a SkyTeam lounge in Terminal 1. A couple of lounges also take pay-per-visit entry, so you don't always need a membership.

Where we'd actually go.
First Class Lounge
The First Class Lounge in Terminal 2 has the widest access at KHN — DragonPass, Priority Pass and Star Alliance Gold all get you in — and it sits airside after security, just past the checkpoint. With its broad membership coverage it's the default pick for most international travellers leaving Nanchang.
CIP Lounge
The CIP Lounge is the landside Terminal 2 option on DragonPass, reached before passport control and security. It's handy if you arrive early and want to settle in before clearing the checkpoint, with a calmer, more spacious feel than the airside lounges.
China Eastern Nanchang Lounge
The China Eastern Nanchang Lounge in Terminal 2 is the best-equipped lounge we track at KHN, serving SkyTeam Elite Plus and China Eastern premium-cabin passengers near gate 216, with Wi-Fi, a bar and a business area among its facilities.
Jiangxi Air VIP Lounge
The Jiangxi Air VIP Lounge near gate 201 in Terminal 2 is a pay-per-visit option for travellers without lounge membership or status, so you can pay your way in for a quieter spot before a domestic departure.

How to get into lounges at KHN.
Nanchang Changbei is a membership-and-status airport: DragonPass opens the most lounges, Priority Pass and Star Alliance reach the airside First Class Lounge, and SkyTeam status covers the China Eastern lounges. A couple of lounges are pay-per-visit. Always check whether your lounge is landside or airside, and which terminal it's in, before you clear the checkpoint.
DragonPass
DragonPass opens the most lounges at KHN — the landside CIP Lounge and the airside First Class Lounge, both in Terminal 2. It's the single most useful membership to carry here.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the First Class Lounge in Terminal 2, airside after security. Coverage is narrower than DragonPass, so confirm your lounge and terminal before you travel.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
Star Alliance Gold status reaches the airside First Class Lounge and the Star Alliance lounge on the main departure floor in Terminal 2, while SkyTeam Elite Plus opens the China Eastern Nanchang Lounge and the Changbei Airport Lounge in Terminal 1. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.
Star Alliance
SkyTeamBusiness & First class ticket
A business- or first-class ticket on a SkyTeam or Star Alliance carrier gets you into the matching lounge directly — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Nanchang, with no membership needed.
SkyTeamStar AlliancePay-per-visit
A couple of Nanchang lounges, including the Jiangxi Air VIP Lounge near gate 201 in Terminal 2, take pay-per-visit entry, so you can pay your way in without a membership or airline status. Confirm the current rate and capacity at the door.
Know before you go.
Lead with DragonPass
- —DragonPass covers more KHN lounges than Priority Pass — if you only carry one, it's the better bet at Nanchang.
- —Both DragonPass lounges are in Terminal 2: the CIP Lounge landside and the First Class Lounge airside.
- —Many of Nanchang's lounges are contract or airline lounges, so the right membership matters more than your carrier.
Landside vs airside
- —The CIP Lounge in Terminal 2 is landside, before passport control and security — useful if you arrive early.
- —The First Class Lounge is airside, after the checkpoint; clear security first to reach it.
- —Once you're through security you can't drop back to the landside CIP Lounge, so plan your visit around the checkpoint.
Mind the terminal
- —Terminal 1 carries only the SkyTeam Changbei Airport Lounge; most lounges are in the larger Terminal 2.
- —Confirm which terminal your flight uses before choosing a lounge — they're separate buildings.
- —If you're flying China Eastern or another SkyTeam carrier, the China Eastern lounge near gate 216 in Terminal 2 is the best-equipped option.
Give yourself time
- —Nanchang is a regional hub, so lounge hours often track flight operations rather than running around the clock — check before a very early or late flight.
- —The pay-per-visit Jiangxi Air VIP Lounge near gate 201 is a fallback if the membership lounges are busy or closed.
- —Facilities at KHN lounges are simpler than at major hubs — expect snacks and soft drinks rather than full hot buffets at most lounges.
