Kashgar Laining International Airport

Kashgar, China · Asia-Pacific

Kashgar's T2-plus-rebuilt-T1 4E field is an easy 8–10 km hop with a ¥2 bus and a real sofa CIP — the tradeoff is snack-only lounges, a thin international bank, joint-use weather, and a 240-hour TWOV stamp that Xinjiang does not issue.

Landside CIP / 贵宾厅 (T2)

T2landside — independent security, then walk to the public pier

FLYERT leftover: landside CIP halls with their own security, then you rejoin the T2 pier on foot (T2 leftover ~12 gates). This is not the Gate 11 PP room. CSAIR leftover still prints 一层机场贵宾室 from the T1-era page — walk the day's T2 signs. Skip it if you already hold PP and Gate 11 is closer.

Access: Bank-card leftover CIP (FLYERT leftover 工行厅 / 农行) · Day pass

Hours: Operator leftover first STD minus ~2 hours until last boarding — confirm at the landside desk.

Amenities: Separate rooms leftover on FLYERT (政务会客厅 layout, TV, toilet, no showers) · Independent security leftover — you still walk the public pier after · Not on Priority Pass leftover khg1 · DragonPass leftover does not print a second KHG room

Best for: A landside bank-card sit before you want to go through public security

First Class Lounge (T2 Gate 11)

T2 domesticairside — after security, 1F, near Gate 11

PP leftover: after T2 security and leftover 'passport control', 1F near Gate 11. FLYERT leftover Jul 2025: shared sofa hall, snacks, 矿泉水, 泡面 cart, no showers. DragonPass leftover prints one KHG room. Off-snack leftover is not a 热食 tray — sit it for the sofa, not dinner. Do not merge this with the landside CIP.

Access: Priority Pass · DragonPass · Airline first/business leftover on participating metal · Bank-card leftover (FLYERT Jul 2025: 农行航司白 / 工行奋斗专 / 光大紫麒麟)

Hours: Priority Pass leftover 05:30–23:00 daily, 2-hour stay, under-2 free, unlimited guests. DragonPass leftover 06:30–23:00. FLYERT leftover Jul 2025 still sat it mid-afternoon into the 泡面 cart.

Amenities: Snacks, soft drinks, 矿泉水 leftover on PP / FLYERT Jul 2025 · 方便面 leftover on a ~18:00 cart (FLYERT Jul 2025) — not a hot-meal window · Deep sofas leftover on FLYERT Jul 2025 · Charging leftover on PP · No showers leftover on PP / FLYERT · No smoking including vaping leftover on PP

Best for: Priority Pass / DragonPass after T2 domestic security when Gate 11 is your pier · A sofa sit if you arrived early to grab an exit-row on a 4–6 hour eastbound

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Honest PP leftover is khg1 First Class Lounge, T2 1F near Gate 11 — snacks, 矿泉水, 泡面 cart, sofa, no showers, 2-hour stay. Verdict leftover depends.
DragonPass leftover prints one KHG room: 头等舱候机室（T2国内） 06:30–23:00. Hours leftover-conflict with PP 05:30 — sit the later open if you are a dawn departure.
Landside CIP leftover is a different product (independent security, then the public pier). Not on PP leftover. Skip it if Gate 11 already covers you.
No leftover 热食 window on the FLYERT Jul 2025 sit — unlike LXA's Gate 19 5100 tray. Eat before security if you need a real meal; T1 leftover Jul 2025 added 8 shops including 餐饮.
USB charging leftover on the T2 hold from the 2022 opening. Do not invent airport-wide free 5 GHz names.
Mother-and-child leftover was on the old T1 2F page (CSAIR leftover). Walk the day's T2 signs rather than that floor plan.
Public leftover food is convenience / 特产 / 方便面. Do not invent a McDonald's or a named coffee chain that this research pass did not pin to a gate.
