Nagoya, Japan · Asia-Pacific
Compact bay-island hub with excellent Meitetsu access, a landside Sky Town food deck, and two solid Priority Pass international lounges — still a single-runway operation until the second strip opens, and easy to confuse with Komaki (NKM).

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
International ~2–2.5h; buy μ-ticket before the gate; check last train if you arrive late.
International departures still want about 2–2.5 hours curb-to-gate on a normal day; add more for peak Golden Week / Obon / New Year banks and for Terminal 2 LCC walks. Domestic cabin-bag can work nearer 75–90 minutes when T1 north is quiet. Buy the μ-ticket (¥450) at machines/counter before you tap through for μ-SKY; IC covers the base fare but not the reserved seat. Screenshot the last Meitetsu departure if you land late — missing it leaves taxi or overnight options only.
Centrair is NGO; Komaki is NKM. T1 domestic north / international south; T2 is the LCC hall.
NGO is Centrair on the bay. NKM/Komaki is the older Nagoya Airfield north of the city (business aviation / limited domestic). Inside Centrair, T1 north = domestic, T1 south = international; T2 is LCC only. Flight of Dreams is retail/museum landside beside T2, not a third passenger terminal. Confirm terminal on the boarding pass before you leave Access Plaza — the T2 walk is short but painful with a tight connection.
Sky Town for meals; konbini for water; Fu-no-Yu is a paid bath, not a lounge.
T1 4F Sky Town (roughly 06:00–22:30 landside) is the strongest public food/retail deck, with Nagoya specialties and souvenir shops before security. FamilyMart / Lawson-style konbini cover cheap water and snacks landside and airside. International airside has cafés (including Starbucks on the international side when open). SOLA SPA Fu-no-Yu (Sky Town / Kutsurogi-dokoro area, typically 08:00–22:00) is Japan’s well-known plane-view bath — paid, tattoos need covering stickers per Centrair rules — not a substitute for a Priority Pass lounge.
Plaza Premium for food hours; Coral Finest for a quieter 2-hour PP stay; KE lounge is flight-timed.
Open Priority Pass the day you fly. Default soft-lounge pick is Plaza Premium near Gate 18 (airport-posted hours vary by weekday; PP often shows 07:00–22:00). Coral Finest near Gate 19 is the quieter PP room with a typical 2-hour max stay and optional short shoulder massage. Korean Air Lounge is useful mainly around KE banks — PP’s morning window is narrow. Restaurant/spa PP credits (BOTEJYU, Kutsurogi-dokoro, etc.) are separate products, not seating lounges.
