Star Alliance opens new lounge at Guangzhou

tar Alliance is continuing to build on its global lounge network with this week’s opening of a new lounge at China’s Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN). Located at Terminal 1, it’s the first Star Alliance lounge in Asia, but not the last: the airline group says it will open a second Star Alliance-branded lounge at the airport’s upcoming Terminal 3, which is due to open in December 2025. The Star Alliance lounge rolls out the welcome mat for first and business class passengers on Star Alliance member airlines departing from Guangzhou T1, along with Gold-grade frequent flyers. At present, 10 Star Alliance airlines operate from Guangzhou: Air China, ANA, Asiana Airlines, EgyptAir, Ethiopian Airlines, EVA Air, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Thai, and Turkish Airlines. Open 24 hours a day, the new Star Alliance lounge is located in the upper level of the existing GBIA lounge in the Terminal 1 international area – making it a lounge within a lounge – and close to the departure gates for Star Alliance member airlines.<br/>
