Nanjing, China · Asia-Pacific
Two connected halls, Metro S1 in the GTC, and a real international Priority Pass room in T2 — paid for with a split airline map leftover English pages still get backwards, and unpublished annual on-time stats.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Landside is two halls and a GTC, not three. Internationals cannot walk from a T1 domestic gate without exiting.
CEAir leftover-prints MU domestic on T2 C (premium C31–32, KN at C7, SHA–PVG leftover B7–B8) and international on T2 B12–16. ZH leftover-prints T2 C domestic. HO leftover-prints T1 E for domestic and T2 A/B for international. English Wikipedia leftover “HO exclusive T2” and wanderinchina leftover “CZ/CA on T2” are both false. Walk T1↔T2 via the GTC in 5–10 minutes; 2020 leftover still printed a free GTC corridor shuttle for the wrong-hall recovery.
T2’s 2014 leftover still reprints a 40-minute domestic close. Metro S1 is not 24 hours — last city-bound leftover 22:42.
Budget the GTC walk if the ticket and the kerb disagree. DragonPass leftover fast-track desks want you at the T2 C/D or T1 F inquiry counter 60 minutes before STD (05:20–22:00 leftover). International CIQ is a T2 east-pier stack, not a T1 shortcut. 240-hour TWOV is a border interview, not a sticker.
DragonPass leftover-prints Nanjing snack credits Priority Pass does not share. V6/V9 are soft-drink CIP rooms.
Airside leftover: 鸭得堡 T2 Gate 32 and T1 Gate 131; 陇兴楼 T2 international Gate 9 and T1 Gate 111; 富春茶社 T1 Gate 126; 苏味非遗 T2 Gate 27; 秦淮小吃 T2 Gate 32; Subway T2 Gate 14. Landside leftover 陇兴楼 / 冶春 on the T2 mezzanine food street before security. Hold only PP, use V3 or V7, not the snack shops.
Live Priority Pass 18 Sep 2026 leftover-prints six pins. Only V7 is international. V3 is MU/FM/KN domestic only.
English leftover “after passport control” on V3 and on the T1 Southern rooms is leftover-wrong for domestic halls. CEAir leftover-prints V3 via the right escalator after T2 domestic security (FlyerTalk leftover 2F, V2/V3 signs). CSAir leftover-prints the Southern room at T1 Gate 115. ZH 尊鹏阁 (V2, 真功夫 lift) is Star Gold / ZH-CA business, not PP.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport and the Nanjing city center
4 ways into the city, compared on time, cost, and luggage.
7 lounges with access rules, hours, and verdicts. 3 rated worth it.
Read the IATA airline, not the alliance, before you pick a hall. SkyTeam is split: MU/FM/KN are T2; CZ is T1. Star Alliance is split: ZH is T2; CA is T1. A “SkyTeam connection” or a “Star connection” can still need the GTC walk.
6 rated amenities — food, Wi-Fi, quiet spots, family, and sleep.
Where to refill for free, and where a bottle costs the least airside.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport and the Nanjing city center

GTC station between T1 and T2 from 1 Jul 2014. Leftover ¥7 / about 35 minutes riding to Nanjing South.
Tip: Airport last toward Nanjing South leftover 22:42; Nanjing South last toward the airport leftover 22:40 (Ctrip leftover 23:00 Fri–Sat). Not 24 hours. Do not wait for leftover Line 18.
Official leftover ranks at T1 arrivals door 3 and T2 arrivals door 2. Meter plus the airport-expressway toll.
Tip: Night leftover 23:00–05:00 adds the night surcharge on the 2017 DRC sheet. Ignore touts in the hall. zh wiki leftover “about ¥100” is low against traveler leftover ¥120–160.
Leftover ¥20 on the city 1/2 lines. Tickets leftover T1/T2 arrivals door 3. Line 1 leftover Nanjing Station; line 2 leftover Nanjing South / 万达.
Tip: Useful after S1 closes. Confirm the live WeChat board — printed PDFs drift after every timetable rewrite.
P1 small leftover ¥6 first hour then ¥3 / 30 min, ¥60 / 24 h; P2 and VIP lots leftover ¥8 / ¥4 / ¥80.
Tip: 15 minutes free, once per two hours. Last published DRC notice on this pass is 1 Jul 2020 — confirm the live 收费标准. P2 leftover sits in front of T2.

Phase-2 leftover 300-room Pullman sits in the transport centre between T1 and T2. Landside, before security.
International leftover-prints the T2 east pier. Commons leftover 2020 duty-free corridor is that pier, not T1.

Internationals and MU/ZH leftover-print T2. HO domestic and CZ/CA/HU leftover-print T1.
CEAir leftover-prints KN at T2 C7. English Wikipedia leftover HO-as-T2-only is false for domestic. T3 is not a hall.
One metro station serves both halls.
A leftover booking that still prints T2 for CZ will put you on the GTC walk.
International PP is V7 (4-hour stay). V3 is MU/FM/KN domestic only. V2 is 尊鹏阁, not PP.
English leftover “after passport control” on V3 and the T1 Southern rooms is leftover-wrong. CSAir leftover Gate 115. DragonPass leftover V6 wants the C/D inquiry desk first.
NKG actually has an international PP pin, unlike KMG.
A HO boarding pass cannot walk into V3, and a CZ boarding pass should not ride to T2 for a Southern room.
Leftover ¥7 / about 35 minutes riding to Nanjing South. Last airport city-bound leftover 22:42.
Ctrip leftover last from Nanjing South 22:40, 23:00 Fri–Sat. Official taxi leftover flag ¥11 / 3 km plus expressway. Parking leftover P2 ¥80 / 24 h from the 2020 DRC notice.
T1 and T2 share one metro station in the GTC.
S1 is not 24 hours. Overnight banks need the night coach, taxi, or a GTC rideshare.
DragonPass leftover desks 05:20–22:00. No published NKG SLA. 易安检 channel numbers were not on a live board this pass.
2020 leftover self-service ID gates except 9C/AQ. International CIQ is a separate T2 stack. 240-hour TWOV is a border interview. 24-hour airside direct transit leftover-prints from 5 Nov 2025.

Official leftover-prints 饮水机. DragonPass leftover-prints 鸭得堡 / 陇兴楼 / 富春 credits PP does not share.
V6/V9 are CIP rooms. V3 leftover-prints hot food for MU. 尊鹏阁 leftover-prints the ZH buffet. Landside 冶春 is for the S1 wait, not soup after screening.
Passenger concentrations after T2 domestic security, including the Gate 11–12 V6 end and the Gate 14 Subway block
Official 2020 leftover-prints 饮水机 among the fixtures disinfected every two hours — the machines exist; no live fountain map was published on this pass. Fill after T2 security rather than buying landside.
Passenger concentrations after T1 domestic security, including the Gate 115 Southern / Gate 126 富春 cluster
Same 2020 leftover as T2: 饮水机 in passenger concentrations. T1 fountains are the fallback when you never see T2. Do not copy a PEK/XIY fountain count onto NKG.
鸭得堡 leftover-prints beside Gate 32; Subway leftover-prints opposite Gate 14
Buy here only if you cannot carry an empty bottle through security. The fountain two seats away is still the cheaper pour.
Landside mezzanine food street above the T2 security mouth (DragonPass leftover 陇兴楼夹层 and 冶春茶社)
Landside bottle for the S1 / GTC wait. Once airside, switch to the fountain. T1 passengers leftover-print 鸭得堡 at Gate 131 instead.
