The international doorway faces the curb and lists Jeju Air, EVA, and Air Busan. Domestic check-in is the other side of the same building.
Paid lounges stop taking guests at 19:15
Business Lounge and Sky Lounge both close at 19:30. The evening Air Busan departure to Busan is 18:35, so do not count on the paid rooms after that.
