DragonPass

First Class Lounge Bav Gate, opposite Gate 4, welcomes Priority Pass members alongside walk-up pay-in guests. Confirm current Priority Pass coverage on the per-lounge page before relying on it at the door.

Priority Pass

The Airport Lounge on the departure floor is served for Star Alliance Gold members and Business Class passengers. Access follows your frequent-flyer tier or ticket class, so check eligibility with your airline.

Star Alliance

First Class Lounge Bav Gate sells entry to walk-up pay-in customers, so you can pay per visit without any membership or status. It's the simplest route in at BAV if you don't carry DragonPass, Priority Pass or qualifying airline status.

Match the lounge to your access

• —Each of the three BAV lounges has a different way in — DragonPass, Star Alliance status, or Priority Pass / walk-in — so check which one matches your card or ticket.
• —First Class Lounge No.2 is the airside DragonPass option; First Class Lounge Bav Gate is the pay-in and Priority Pass choice.
• —If you have no membership or status, First Class Lounge Bav Gate is the one to head for — it sells walk-up entry.

Keep expectations realistic

• —Baotou Donghe is a small regional airport, so the lounges are modest — expect snacks and soft drinks rather than a full hot buffet or bar.
• —First Class Lounge No.2 lists a roughly two-hour stay, which comfortably covers most pre-flight waits here.
• —These are quiet spaces — good for unwinding or light laptop work before a domestic departure.

Finding the lounges

• —First Class Lounge No.2 is airside, opposite Gate 10, up on Level 2 — head there after security.
• —First Class Lounge Bav Gate is opposite Gate 4 within the terminal.
• —The Airport Lounge is on the departure floor; follow the lounge signage toward the central area.

Timing your visit

• —As a small airport, BAV's lounges are usually calm, with the busiest moments around major departures.
• —Lounge hours track the flight schedule — roughly the first flight to the last of the day — rather than fixed clock hours.
• —Arrive with a little time in hand so you can settle before boarding rather than rushing through.
