At a glance
The Star Alliance hub lounge for international departures, spread along a series of passages around a central staff counter. Seating mixes sofas around coffee tables, dining tables, bar stools at a staffed counter and a few partitioned corners, some looking down over the terminal and apron; power outlets are scarce. The buffet runs to dim sum, congee, wonton soup, instant noodles, bread, cereals, packaged snacks, fruit and sandwiches, and it fills up late at night before the overnight long-haul bank.
