EVA Air Infinity Lounge

EVA regulars hop to Infinity for the look, then slide to Star Lounge next door when they actually need quiet seats.

The EVA Air Infinity Lounge sits airside in T2, past security near the other EVA lounges, and is open roughly from early-morning banks through late-night long‑hauls on BR10/BR8. Access is mainly EVA business class and high‑tier Infinity MileageLands plus select Star Alliance business passengers departing Terminal 2, but FlyerTalk reports that non‑EVA Star Gold and paid J on other carriers are often refused at the door.

Figure 10–15 minutes to walk here from some of the more distant T2 gates, so build that into your BR15 or UA872 boarding time. The room is heavy on LED lighting, curved furniture and glossy surfaces; it’s the showpiece compared with the calmer EVA Star Lounge next door, which many flyers quote as the better working space.

Food is buffet style with hot Asian dishes, some Western basics, and snacks that rotate a bit through the day; you’ll usually see at least one noodle or rice option plus simple soups. Coffee machines, soft drinks and standard spirits sit on self‑serve counters, and beer fridges tend to hold Taiwan brands rather than imports. Portions are small enough that you can try two or three items without committing your whole pre‑flight appetite.

Seats near the food and central walkway fill quickly around the evening long‑haul bank, especially before departures to LAX and SFO. Power outlets cluster along the walls and by some window seats, so if you spot a two‑socket strip free, grab it before you hit the buffet. Wi‑Fi speeds are generally fine for email and streaming in the low tens of Mbps, but serious laptop work is easier in the Star Lounge’s more regular desk‑style seating.

Watch out: United passengers on UA872 out of T2 report being turned away from Infinity with “space limitation” notes, then redirected to Plaza Premium instead, even on paid business tickets. FlyerTalk threads from 2024 flag this as a recurring pattern tied to EVA’s capacity controls, not a one‑off grumpy agent. If you’re non‑EVA Star Gold, have a backup plan in T2 like Plaza Premium.

What regulars do: they quickly peek into both Infinity and Star; if Infinity looks packed or too loud, they move one door over for better work seats, then return to Infinity for a quick plate and drink 30–40 minutes before boarding.

Practical tip: if your gate is more than a 10‑minute walk from the EVA lounge cluster in T2, set a hard “leave lounge” alarm on your phone so the lighting show here doesn’t turn into a sprint to final call.
