Changzhou Benniu International Airport

Changzhou, China · Asia-Pacific

Changzhou's compact 2011 hall is an easy 18 km hop with a ¥19.9 bus, a real meal-window CIP, and 240-hour TWOV — the tradeoff is five gates, an 82% 放行 year, joint-use weather, and a west-side expansion that is still fit-out.

PP leftover czx1: after domestic security, opposite Gate 2. DragonPass leftover prints Gate 1 opposite / Gates 1–2; operator leftover 2016 prints Gate 1; DragonPass desk-17 leftover walks you 100 m left to Gate 2. Sit the Gate 1–2 cluster. FLYERT leftover Apr 2026: small, crowded with bank-card / PP / DragonPass, 热食 at a short meal window, no showers. Off-window leftover is not LXA's all-day tray — eat landside 闲吉 / 便利 if you miss it. Do not merge this with the east-side landside 贵宾厅.

International First Class Lounge (Gate 9)

Main hall internationalairside — after international security, opposite Gate 9

Operator leftover 2016 and DragonPass leftover both pin Gate 9 after international security. Priority Pass leftover prints opposite Gate 1 — leftover-conflicting; sit Gate 9 as the operator / DragonPass pin. DragonPass leftover opens with the day's international bank, not PP's 05:30 print. Skip it on a pure domestic day. Do not merge this with the Gate 1–2 domestic CIP.

Access: Priority Pass · DragonPass · Airline F/J leftover on participating international metal · Day pass

Hours: Priority Pass leftover 05:30–23:25 Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun and 05:30–23:10 Tue/Thu/Sat. DragonPass leftover: hours follow the day's international flights, 2.0 hours. Operator leftover 最早–最晚航班. Do not sit PP's printed close if there is no Hong Kong / Macau / Vientiane / Nha Trang bank that evening.

Best for: A Hong Kong / Macau / Vientiane / Nha Trang departure when Gate 9 is actually open

Landside VIP / 贵宾厅 (east 1F)

Main hall landsidelandside — east-side 贵宾厅 1F, independent security, then a dedicated boarding walk

East-side landside 贵宾厅 leftover is a different product from the Gate 1–2 PP room: own parking, own security, escort to the aircraft (including the far-stand 摆渡). 2016 leftover prices (¥200 / ¥300) are leftover-stale. Skip it if you already hold PP and Gates 1–2 cover you. DragonPass leftover 接待柜台 at 2F desk 17 is not this hall — that desk walks you to the airside CIP.

Access: Day pass · Bank-card leftover CIP when the east hall is the product on your card

Hours: Operator leftover 2016 html prints 05:30–22:30; the parallel 长者模式 page leftover prints 最早–最晚航班. Confirm at 0519-83256222. Do not copy leftover ¥200 vs leftover ¥300 as a live walk-up price — both are 2016.

Amenities: Dedicated parking, check-in, security lane, and boarding escort leftover on the 2016 VIP page · Tea / snacks leftover; 臻享卡 leftover printed 点餐 — confirm the day's room · Not on Priority Pass leftover czx / czx1 · DragonPass leftover does not print this east hall as a third airside room — its third CZX pin is the landside desk 17 check-in for the Gate 1–2 CIP

Best for: A landside bank-card / paid CIP sit when you want independent security instead of the public queue

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Honest PP leftover is czx1 Domestic First Class Lounge, after security opposite Gate 2 — meal-window 热食 leftover on FLYERT Apr 2026, small, no showers, 2-hour stay. Verdict leftover worth-it at the tray, sofa-only off-window.
PP leftover czx International First Class Lounge: operator/DragonPass leftover Gate 9, hours leftover follow the day's international bank. Verdict leftover depends.
DragonPass leftover prints three CZX pins: Gate 9 international, Gates 1–2 domestic, and landside desk 17 (check-in, not a room). Do not count desk 17 as a fourth lounge.
East-side landside 贵宾厅 leftover is a paid/bank-card CIP with its own security. 2016 leftover ¥200/¥300 is leftover-stale. Not on PP.
Landside leftover food: 闲吉 tea shop from 31 Aug 2026 plus 便利平价饮料. 百岁坊银楼 / 江南牛角梳 leftover 15 May 2026 are souvenir, not dinner. Do not invent a McDonald's.
Comfort leftover: 500 free charging seats from the Aug 2025 operator note; free Wi-Fi leftover on the 17 Apr 2025 service promise. Do not invent a named 5 GHz SSID.
USB leftover is on the hold, not a refill tap. No leftover public fountain map.
