Lounge 3

$25 gets you into Lounge 3 in Terminal 1

Lounge 3 sits airside in Terminal 1 at Taipei Songshan (TSA), open from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and mainly pulls people in via Priority Pass and Chase Sapphire access. With an online rating around 4.2, it lands in the “pretty decent, not legendary” tier and works best as a functional place to sit, charge, and snack between flights.

Access is straightforward: show a Priority Pass card, a Chase Sapphire lounge entitlement, or pay the $25 day pass fee at the desk. At TSA’s size, you won’t burn 20 minutes walking here; from most Terminal 1 gates you’re looking at a short 5–10 minute walk after security, with enough time to grab a seat before boarding calls start.

Food and drink details for Lounge 3 at TSA are thin in public reviews, so set expectations closer to a standard contract lounge than a flagship hub. At a $25 buy-in, assume self-serve soft drinks, basic coffee, and light snacks rather than made‑to‑order hot plates, and treat anything better than that as a win. If you need a real meal, you may want to eat once in the main Terminal 1 concourse and then use the lounge mainly as a quieter place to sit.

Seating, showers, and other amenities are not well documented for Lounge 3, which usually means “serviceable but not memorable” in this price band. Power outlets can be hit‑or‑miss in older Terminal 1 lounges, so bring a USB-C or multi‑port adapter and try to grab seats along the walls, where airports tend to tuck extra plugs. Wi‑Fi in TSA generally runs at acceptable speeds for email and streaming, so plan on getting some work done between flights.

There are no consistent complaint patterns or “regulars swear by X” tips online, which matches a lounge that simply does its job for 4.2‑star users and moves on. In that context, the $25 day pass only really makes sense if you’ll be in Terminal 1 for at least an hour and value a less chaotic seat over the public gates.

Practical tip: if your layover in Terminal 1 is under 60 minutes gate‑to‑gate, skip the $25 day pass and just use regular seating; save paid access for longer waits where that 4.2‑rated lounge chair actually earns its keep.
