VIP Reception Center
YIH · Terminal 2 · landside
Yichang's landside VIP lounge — check-in help, a runway view and DragonPass entry before security.
The VIP Reception Center is the landside lounge at Yichang Sanxia Airport, set up as much around service as around seating. You reach it at the VIP service counter in the domestic departure hall, where staff handle your boarding procedures and luggage check-in before guiding you through to the lounge area — the listing notes it takes in 17 lounge rooms. Access is on DragonPass, the only membership the airport accepts, or by paid entry, with a two-hour cap on your stay. Because it sits before security, it suits travellers who want help getting checked in and a calm place to wait early, rather than a seat at the gate. Inside you'll find light snacks and hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks, plus Wi-Fi, charging, computer access, printing and an exclusive check-in counter and express ticket-check channel. A runway view, flight monitors and boarding reminders round it out. It's a practical, assistance-led option — just remember you'll still clear security after your visit.

A light spread suited to a landside waiting room: snacks with hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks. It's there to keep you comfortable while staff sort your check-in, not to replace a meal, so eat properly elsewhere if you need more.
Present your DragonPass membership at the VIP service counter in the domestic departure hall; staff will handle your boarding procedures and guide you to the lounge area.
