First Class Lounge 1 (T1)
HFE · Main Terminal · airside
Hefei's DragonPass contract lounge — hot buffet, full bar and power, airside opposite A09.
First Class Lounge 1 (T1) is Hefei Xinqiao's DragonPass contract lounge, sitting airside opposite Gate A09 — after security, turn right and it's across from the boarding gate. It opens on DragonPass membership and also sells a pay-in day pass, making it the natural choice for travellers without alliance status. It's one of the better-equipped HFE lounges: a complimentary hot buffet with snacks, a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits, Wi-Fi, power outlets at seats, a small business area, TVs and flight information screens. Opening hours run 06:30 to 22:00, so it covers most of the domestic departure day but not late-night flights. As a regional contract lounge it's a comfortable, practical place to eat, charge and wait before a domestic departure.
