JAL Diamond Premier LoungeSapporo Airport (CTS)
★4.4(406 reviews)CTS
JAL's flagship CTS lounge — private, art-filled and serene for top-tier flyers.
The JAL Diamond Premier Lounge is the top of JAL's lounge hierarchy at New Chitose, reserved for domestic First Class and the airline's highest-tier elite passengers. It's a genuinely serene space: natural materials throughout, comfortable seats that offer real privacy, and expansive windows framing the tarmac. Practical touches set it apart from the Sakura Lounge below it — business facilities for working travellers and massage chairs to unwind in. The food and drink offering is deliberately modest but well chosen, with snacks such as curry bread and onigiri, vegetable and miso soups, and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The room also doubles as a small gallery, with vibrant digital art and a commissioned calligraphic work by the renowned Japanese calligrapher Shishu adding a distinctly local, cultural character. If your JAL status or First Class ticket opens it, it's the best lounge at CTS.
