Start your trip with a special moment. Fukuoka Airport Lounge Special

There are several types of lounges, each with different terms of use and services. In this article, we will introduce the services and how to use the lounges at Fukuoka Airport, the gateway to Kyushu.

Whether you travel or go on business trips frequently or are a first-time airport user, why not try using the lounge to make your time at the airport more comfortable?

Types of airport lounges

Airport lounges can be broadly divided into two categories:

Each service has different usage methods and service contents, so we will explain them below.

Card Lounge

Card lounges are available to credit card members, and are generally available to those with gold cards or above. Airport lounge operators are managed in partnership with card companies.

The types of credit cards that can be used are not standardized across all lounges. Fukuoka Airport has three card lounges, but the lounges you can use vary depending on the credit card you have, which we will explain later.

When using the service, you will need to present the applicable credit card and proof of boarding on the day. Some credit cards also allow companions to use the service for free, making it convenient for traveling with friends or partners.

The main free services offered at the card lounge are as follows:

In most cases, there is a charge for services such as meals, alcohol, and massages. Terms of use vary depending on the lounge, so be sure to check in advance.

There are many types of credit cards that are eligible for use, and there are also lounges that anyone can use by paying the set fee, even if they do not have a qualifying credit card.

Many card lounges can be used after arrival, so they can be used in a variety of situations, such as if you arrive at the airport early, or if you have time after arriving at the airport before heading to your destination.

Airline Lounges

Airline lounges operated by airlines are lounges available to airline elite members and passengers flying business class or first class.

Compared to card lounges, airline lounges tend to offer not only soft drinks, but also food and alcohol for free. When using these lounges, you can enter by showing proof of your premium membership and boarding class at the reception.

Some lounges have dedicated check-in counters, allowing you to check in more smoothly than usual. Most airline lounges are located close to the boarding gate, so you can relax right up until the boarding gate.

Only a limited number of people are allowed inside, and each space offers services that reflect the unique attention to detail of each airline, making it a space where you can experience a special trip.

Introducing the domestic card lounge at Fukuoka Airport

There are two card lounges in the domestic terminal at Fukuoka Airport.

The types of credit cards that can be used for free and the locations of the lounges vary, so we will introduce the features of each.

[Domestic Flights] Lounge TIME/South | 2nd floor, boarding lounge

Lounge TIME/South is a lounge that can be used after passing through the domestic security checkpoint. You can choose between a free drink or a bottle of beer at the reception. Even if you don't have a designated card, you can use it for a fee.

With 167 seats, it is the most of any card lounge at Fukuoka Airport, and is well equipped with individual sofas and a workspace perfect for working on a computer. The large windows offer a close-up view of the aircraft and preparations for the flight, sure to get you in the mood for a trip.

Lounge TIME/North is a lounge available before passing through security for domestic flights.

It is located on the first floor of the domestic passenger terminal building, right next to the Arrival Gate/North, and can also be used upon arrival. You may be asked to show your boarding pass at reception, so if you plan to use it after arrival, don't throw it away, but keep it with you. Even if you don't have the designated card, it is available for general use for a fee.

As with Lounge TIME South, you can choose a free soft drink or a bottle of beer when you check in.

The specialty of the Diamond Premier Lounge is JAL's special baked curry bread. It is a popular dish made with plenty of JAL's original beef curry, wrapped in chewy focaccia. It is served every day from 11:30 and will end when it runs out.

Additionally, croissants, rice balls, miso soup, and other items from Mikazukiya, a bakery beloved by local Fukuoka residents, are available all day.
