Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Confirm the international flight the week you fly

Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Nagoya were the 2025 international routes, but only some of them have a printed end date.

The Kuala Lumpur timetable the city published ran through 29 March 2025. A T'way inaugural to Seoul has been reported without a continuing schedule.

Terminals

Match the lounge to the terminal, then walk to the gate number

Priority Pass puts First Class Lounge 3 in T2 after passport control, opposite gate 10.

DragonPass puts Domestic First Class Lounge 2 opposite gate 9 in T2. A 7 February 2026 photo set labels gate 9 as T1, so follow the sign in the building you are actually in.

Liquids

Empty the bottle before security

The airport boarding page says water, milk, and other drinks cannot be carried through security and should be checked.

There is no published drinking-fountain map and no printed bottle price.

Name

The live name is Yanhu, not Guangong

CAAC approved the change from Yuncheng Zhangxiao Airport to Yuncheng Yanhu International Airport on 17 April 2024.

Guangong was a marketing name. The airport company told people to stop using it in March 2020. Some lounge URLs still say Guangong or Zhangxiao.
