Free Priority Pass access makes this lounge worth a short stop
More Premium Lounge (Nan Yuan) sits airside on Level 3 of Terminal I at Kaohsiung International Airport, open roughly 05:30–20:30, with some listings showing closing at 21:30. Most reviews call it a backup option rather than somewhere to plan around. If you get in via Priority Pass or a credit card, it can beat hunting for a seat in the main terminal, but paying out of pocket here rarely feels smart.
Location, check-in, and layout
You reach the lounge after security in Terminal I, then head up to Level 3 following “More Premium Lounge” or “Nan Yuan” signs. The space is small for an international terminal lounge and feels stuck around the early‑2000s in design. Seating runs along the windows and walls in rows, with only a handful of power outlets, so count how many bars of battery you have before you commit to a long stay.
Food and drink: keep expectations very low
Travellers repeatedly call the buffet “below average,” which tracks with the sparse setup reported in reviews. Think a few hot trays, some basic snacks, and soft drinks rather than a full meal; don’t bank on more than instant noodles, simple rice dishes, and packaged biscuits. Alcohol, if offered during your visit, skews to basic beer at best, so plan on buying proper coffee or something stronger in the public area instead.
Seating, Wi‑Fi, and comfort
One TripAdvisor reviewer labelled the lounge “a disgrace,” mainly due to outdated furniture and worn finishes. Seats are standard armchairs packed fairly close together, and it can feel cramped once a couple of flights’ worth of passengers arrive. Wi‑Fi usually works for email and messaging but may struggle with large downloads or streaming during busy evening banks.
Watch out for: value and timing
Several reviews flatly recommend skipping the lounge and staying in the main terminal, especially if you would need to pay a per‑visit fee around the typical NT$1,000–NT$1,200 range common for third‑party lounges. Also double‑check the day’s hours at the door; signs locally may show 20:30 closing while online listings show 21:30, and staff sometimes start tidying food 30 minutes before shut‑down.
Practical tip
Use More Premium Lounge as a short, 30–45 minute stop after clearing security in Terminal I: grab Wi‑Fi, sit down, and charge your phone. Eat a real meal landside or at a terminal restaurant, then treat this lounge as a backup seat, not the main event.
