AVINEX VIP Lounge/Reception Area No. 6
SHA
A landside Terminal 1 lounge open to all for a fee — Priority Pass welcome, with a full buffet.
The AVINEX VIP Lounge — also signposted as Reception Area No. 6 — gives you a calm place to settle before a flight at Shanghai Hongqiao. It sits in Terminal 1, in domestic departures, landside before the security check; to reach it, enter building A through Entrance No. 5. Access is among the most open at SHA: it welcomes members of the Priority Pass program, as well as any passenger for a fee, regardless of class of service. The catering stands out — complimentary hot and cold buffets and snacks, alongside soft drinks and a full bar serving house wine, beer and liquor, more generous than the lighter snack-and-drink offerings elsewhere at the airport. Because it's landside, it's a good option if you arrive early and want to eat and relax before clearing security.
