Gimpo airport lounge: two Sky Hubs now, not one

Gimpo has lounges, and which one you can enter depends on three things: the terminal, the ticket, and whether you are already through security. On the operators’ pages read here, the international terminal has two Sky Hub lounges, an Asiana lounge, and a paid lounge the airport runs itself in the public hall. Korean Air’s lounge pages could not be read. In the domestic terminal, Priority Pass lists nothing.

Which lounges does Gimpo airport have?

Four lounges in Gimpo’s international terminal appear on the operators’ pages read on 8 October 2026. Korean Air’s pages returned no text, so any Korean Air lounge is missing from this table. Hours are as each operator publishes them.

The Sky Hub Lounge’s opening hours and location come from its Priority Pass page, which also sets a five hour maximum stay and lets children under three in free. The Sky Hub Lounge Premium’s hours come from the Priority Pass list for Gimpo; neither page read gives its gate. Asiana’s hours at Gimpo sit behind a lookup form that did not return text, so the Asiana row has no hours.

Gimpo has two Sky Hub lounges now, not one

The Sky Hub Lounge Premium is the newer of the two. Pulmuone Food & Culture, which runs the Sky Hub brand, announced on 8 September 2026 that it had won and started running the Sky Hub Lounge Premium in Gimpo’s international terminal, and that Gimpo is the first place the brand has opened a premium lounge.

Pulmuone describes two areas inside it. A public zone is for resting and eating, with a live noodle station and pizza. A business zone has single seats and a private dining room for meetings. The chef-cooked menu Pulmuone lists runs from seafood ramyeon to a bulgogi bibimbap and a seaweed soup set.

Lounge guides go stale without telling you, so treat any Gimpo lounge page written before the September 2026 announcement as describing a terminal with one Sky Hub. Check its stay limit against Priority Pass too, which now gives the Sky Hub Lounge a five hour maximum.

Can you use a Gimpo airport lounge with Priority Pass?

On an international departure, yes, and Priority Pass lists both Sky Hubs at Gimpo. The Sky Hub Lounge is airside in international departures near gate 35 and R1, open 06:30 to 20:00 every day. The Sky Hub Lounge Premium is listed in the international terminal from 06:30 to 20:10.

Both shut by 20:10. Check your departure time against those closing times before you plan an evening around a lounge.

Priority Pass lists no lounge in Gimpo’s domestic terminal. A pass is no use on a flight to Jeju or Busan from Gimpo. Flying abroad from Busan instead, Gimhae’s international terminal has four Priority Pass lounges, listed on the Gimhae airport lounge page.

Gimpo airport Asiana lounge: who gets in

Asiana’s lounge page sets the same rules for its lounges at home: business class on Asiana or Star Alliance scheduled flights, Asiana Club Platinum, Diamond Plus and Diamond members plus one guest, and Star Alliance Gold members plus one guest. Children under two enter free.

Three conditions on the same page catch people out:

1. On a codeshare, the operating airline’s lounge rules apply. An Asiana ticket on a flight another airline flies is judged by that airline’s rules.
2. A partner lounge card works only on an Asiana-operated flight, and only with the physical card or the card company’s mobile card, not a screenshot or a card number.
3. Non-scheduled flights, such as charters, get no lounge for business class or elite members.

Incheon is different now: Asiana flies from Terminal 2 there, and its passengers use Korean Air’s lounges, as set out on the Incheon Asiana lounge page.

For a Star Alliance passenger, the Asiana lounge is the Gimpo answer. ANA’s own page for Gimpo sends its passengers there and refuses ANA Suite Lounge vouchers. On ANA’s table a business class passenger gets in alone, and a Star Alliance Gold member may bring one guest on the same flight.

Gimpo airport business lounge: the airport’s own, before security

The Gimpo BIZ Lounge is run by the Korea Airports Corporation on the third floor of the international terminal’s public hall, before security. It opens on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00 and has sofas, a flight information screen and coffee, plus a meeting room with a table and a monitor.

The booking rules are the hard part. The lounge is requested by email to gmpbiz@airport.co.kr at least one business day before use, used only once approved, and paid only by bank transfer. It is the one lounge at Gimpo you cannot decide to use while standing in the terminal.

So treat the BIZ Lounge as a meeting room with a booking process, useful when a group needs a table before a flight to Tokyo or Osaka, and of no use for a weekend departure. Being landside, it suits someone meeting a passenger as well as someone flying. The cities Gimpo flies to abroad are on the Gimpo international flights page.

Is there a lounge in Gimpo’s domestic terminal?

Airline lounges, on the pages read here, and no Priority Pass lounge. Asiana’s lounge lookup lists Gimpo domestic as a separate departure airport from Gimpo international, and its rules let you use only the lounge in the terminal you depart from. Priority Pass lists only the two international Sky Hubs.

One card company list read here gets the hours tangled. An undated BC Card lounge table gives the Asiana lounge at Gimpo two sets of hours in two places on one page: 05:00 to 21:30 for the international terminal, and 06:00 to 21:00 for domestic and international together. The second block may be another airport’s table under a copied heading; the page does not say. A table with no date cannot tell you which of its numbers is current, so treat its Gimpo hours as unconfirmed and check the airline before relying on either.

What is not checked here

The Sky Hub hours and stay limit come from Priority Pass, the Sky Hub Lounge Premium’s opening from Pulmuone’s announcement as reported by Asia Business Daily, the BIZ Lounge from the Korea Airports Corporation’s Gimpo page, and the Asiana rules from Asiana’s lounge page, all read on 8 October 2026.

Asiana’s and Korean Air’s lounge hours at Gimpo were not read: Asiana’s lookup form and Korean Air’s lounge pages load as apps and returned no text. Korean Air’s Gimpo lounges and who may enter them are therefore not covered here. Walk-in prices at either Sky Hub, the Sky Hub Lounge Premium’s gate, and any Japan Airlines arrangement at Gimpo were not found on an operator’s page.

If a lounge opens, closes or changes its hours, or you find Asiana’s or Korean Air’s Gimpo hours on their own pages, tell me and this page will say so with a date. For which Seoul airport to fly from in the first place, see Gimpo vs Incheon.
