Asiana Business Lounge (West), ICN

At a glance

One of ten lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 8th among them. A hub lounge with enough quiet for a read or a nap, a bar worth the visit, and proper tarmac views — though the food won't make a meal. It seats around 228. Hours are 6 AM – 12:30 AM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Priority Pass (Asiana's October 2026 notice lists Priority Pass cardholders departing on a scheduled Star Alliance flight; confirm entry conditions and fees with your card issuer.) and Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access (Star Alliance business-class passengers and Star Alliance Gold members on a scheduled Star Alliance flight; Gold members may bring one companion.). Entry conditions and availability apply.
