Credit Card Members Lounge Annex

Spillover seating is basically the whole story at this Annex.

The Credit Card Members Lounge Annex at Chubu Centrair (NGO) sits landside in Terminal 1 and functions as backup space for the main credit card lounge, not a separate premium product. Access follows the usual Japanese card-lounge rules: qualifying domestic credit cards get you in for free, and companions often pay a small fee at the desk in yen. If you only have time before security, this Annex is the one you’ll hit.

Open roughly from morning departures through the last bank of evening flights in T1, the Annex gives you basic seating, soft drinks, and a place to charge devices before heading to security. Think standard armchairs, small tables, and power outlets rather than recliners or nap pods. There’s no documented upgrade over the main card lounge next door in terms of drinks, snacks, or views, just extra room when that primary space fills up.

Food and drink here follow the usual Japanese credit card lounge pattern: free non-alcoholic drinks from machines, sometimes drip coffee, and very light snacks at best. Expect to pay separately for beer or other alcohol if it’s offered at all, and plan on eating properly in the main T1 restaurant area on the 3rd floor or nearer to the domestic security checkpoint. If you want a sit-down meal under ¥1,500–¥2,000, you’ll do better in the terminal restaurants than trying to graze here.

Seating pressure lines up with flight banks in Terminal 1, so late afternoon and early evening around major domestic departures can feel tight. Because internet speed and outlet availability matter more than the minimal drink options, people often park near walls where multiple sockets share a single strip. If you care about a quiet corner to work on a laptop for 45–60 minutes, arrive earlier than the big ANA and JAL domestic waves.

The practical play: use the Annex as a short staging area if the main Credit Card Members Lounge is obviously full, then move airside quickly. Give yourself at least 20–30 minutes to clear T1 security and walk to standard domestic gates, and more like 35–40 minutes if you’re heading to international gates in the satellite section and don’t know the layout.
