Taichung's Star Alliance lounge — a calm third-floor space by Gates 4 and 5.

About this lounge

The AE Lounge is Taichung Airport's Star Alliance lounge, set on the third floor of the international terminal near Gates 4 and 5. Access is by Star Alliance Gold status or a business-class ticket on an eligible Star Alliance flight. It's a compact, modern lounge — the kind of calm regional space that suits a short pre-flight stop rather than a long stay. The lounge offers a cold selection to eat, drinks including alcoholic options, and magazines to read, with step-free access for travellers who need it. Because Taichung is a small single-terminal airport, the AE Lounge is an easy walk from the gates once you've cleared immigration and security. There's no Priority Pass or DragonPass coverage here, so it's the lounge to head for if you're flying Star Alliance with status or in business class.

Food & drink

The AE Lounge keeps food simple with a cold selection to nibble on, paired with a drinks offering that includes alcoholic options. It's a light pre-flight refuel rather than a full hot buffet, in keeping with the compact size of the lounge.
