Where we'd actually go.
First Class Lounge (T1 Domestic)
The First Class Lounge in Terminal 1 is the airport's only airside lounge, two floors up next to Gate 2. It runs on DragonPass and offers a quiet, air-conditioned space with snacks, soft drinks, power outlets and tarmac views — the natural choice once you're through security.
First Class Lounge (T1 Domestic)
Both Qionghai Boao lounges are reached on DragonPass rather than airline status, so you pay per visit without needing a particular ticket or tier. The airside First Class Lounge is the one you'll actually settle into, with a two-hour stay and a calm place to wait for your flight.
Guest Service Counter (landside)
The Guest Service Counter sits landside in the Departure Hall opposite Gate 2. It's a DragonPass-accessed help desk for check-in and a fast-track channel, with a hot and cold bite to grab before you clear security — handy if you arrive early or want a smoother run to the gate.

Qionghai Boao Airport lounges by terminal.
Main Terminal
Qionghai Boao is a single-terminal airport, so both lounge options sit in the one building. The Guest Service Counter is landside in the Departure Hall by Gate 2, handling check-in assistance and a fast-track channel before security. Once airside, the First Class Lounge is two floors up next to Gate 2 in the Terminal 1 domestic area. Both are reached on DragonPass.
- —Single-terminal airport — both options are in the same building
- —Guest Service Counter is landside, before security, by Gate 2
- —First Class Lounge is airside, two floors up next to Gate 2
- —DragonPass is the access route for both
How to get into lounges at BAR.
Access at Qionghai Boao is straightforward: both lounges run on DragonPass. There are no airline or alliance lounges here, so your ticket or frequent-flyer tier doesn't open these doors — a DragonPass membership (or paying the per-visit rate) does. Decide whether you want the landside Guest Service Counter before security or the airside First Class Lounge after it.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the main way into both Qionghai Boao lounges — the landside Guest Service Counter and the airside First Class Lounge. Present your DragonPass membership for verification; on the landside side this is handled at the check-in counter, where staff issue a service voucher.
DragonPassPay per visit
Both lounges are pay-per-visit spaces rather than status lounges, so you're charged per guest for a stay of up to two hours. This is the simplest route if you don't fly out of Qionghai Boao often — no airline status or specific ticket required.
Fast-track channel
The landside Guest Service Counter includes a fast-track (Express Pass) channel and check-in assistance, so it doubles as a smoother route to security rather than just a place to sit. Staff verify your membership and guide you through.
DragonPassLandside vs airside
Choose by where you are in your journey: the Guest Service Counter works before security, while the First Class Lounge is airside after it. If you want to settle in and wait for boarding, head airside; if you want help and a quick bite first, start landside.
DragonPassKnow before you go.
DragonPass is the key
- —Both Qionghai Boao lounges run on DragonPass — there are no airline or alliance lounges here, so your ticket class doesn't matter.
- —Keep your DragonPass (Longteng Card) membership easy to reach; landside staff verify it at the check-in counter before issuing a service voucher.
- —If you don't hold DragonPass, both spaces can be used on a pay-per-visit basis.
Landside or airside
- —The Guest Service Counter is landside, before security — good for check-in help, a fast-track channel and a quick bite.
- —The First Class Lounge is airside, two floors up next to Gate 2 — the place to actually relax once you're through.
- —If you only want one stop, go straight to the airside First Class Lounge after clearing security.
Plan your time
- —Both lounges allow a stay of up to two hours, so time your arrival around your boarding rather than camping out all day.
- —Arrive a little early at peak flight times — the landside counter can get busy, though staff tend to move queues quickly.
- —Use the landside fast-track channel to keep your run to the gate smooth before settling in airside.
What to expect
- —The airside First Class Lounge is a calm, air-conditioned room with snacks, soft drinks, power outlets, printing and tarmac views.
- —It's a compact domestic lounge rather than a large international one — set expectations for a simple, quiet wait rather than an extensive buffet or showers.
- —The landside counter is service-focused, so treat it as a help desk and grab-and-go stop rather than a sit-down lounge.
