First Class Lounge
★4.2(25 reviews)HIA · Main Terminal · airside
HIA's most flexible lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass or pay in at the door.
The First Class Lounge is the main lounge at Huai'an Lianshui Airport, sitting airside after security in the terminal — take the escalator on the right up to the second floor. It has the most flexible access of any lounge at HIA: DragonPass and Priority Pass holders are both welcome, and the lounge also sells pay-in entry, so you can get in without any membership. Inside you'll find a quiet, practical space with complimentary Wi-Fi, luggage storage, toilets and a selection of complimentary snacks and soft drinks. It's a straightforward place to wait before a flight rather than a large premium lounge, and there's a maximum two-hour stay, so it's best used closer to boarding.
Crowding · usually calm
A workable spot for a short stop, with Wi-Fi and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it's a compact lounge with a two-hour cap rather than a dedicated business space.
A light, complimentary spread rather than a full buffet — snacks and soft drinks to tide you over before a flight. It's a functional offering aimed at a short pre-departure stop rather than a full meal.
After clearing security, take the escalator on the right up to the second floor; the lounge is on level 2.
