EVA Air Star Lounge

Infinity sits next door, but Star is where work gets done

On the T2 mezzanine after security, the EVA Air Star Lounge sits directly adjacent to the Infinity Lounge, and regulars say this is the calmer, more practical space for actually getting things done. It’s part of the Terminal 2 Star Alliance business lounge cluster, so you’re already in the right place for most long‑haul EVA and partner departures from T2.

Access skews strict here: EVA business class and eligible EVA status passengers are fine, but several *G flyers on FlyerTalk reported being turned away from Star in 2023–2024 despite holding Star Alliance Gold on other airlines. Staff cited lounge policy and space constraints, so don’t count on this as your default *G option unless your boarding pass shows EVA or an invited partner.

Layout runs standard rectangle, with rows of armchairs, a handful of work tables, and plenty of power outlets compared with Infinity next door. One EVA regular described Star as “much better for sitting down and getting things done” versus Infinity, which they mainly used for photos and decor. If you need to open a laptop for a 2‑hour layover before an EVA long‑haul, this room makes more sense than the selfie crowd next door.

Food strategy from frequent flyers is simple: walk into Infinity first, check the hot dishes and desserts, then carry what you like and move one door over into Star for a quieter seat. Posters in the “which lounge is best at TPE” thread talk about doing exactly that shuffle between the two EVA lounges on the T2 mezzanine, since they sit side by side and the walk is under 30 seconds.

Traffic spikes in the late‑night EVA departure banks, especially around the midnight waves to North America and Europe from T2. That’s when the “space constraints” excuse shows up, and some non‑EVA *G guests report both EVA lounges running close to full. If your flight leaves around 23:00–01:00, assume you might need to hunt a bit for a power outlet and a quiet corner.

Practical tip: if you care more about a workable seat and power than aesthetics, clock what Infinity is serving, then settle in at Star 60–90 minutes before boarding from Terminal 2 to beat the peak rush.
