Tips
Busan Gimhae Airport Lounges (PUS): Paid Access & Terminals
Flying internationally from Busan Gimhae Airport? Skyhub and N Skyhub offer paid lounge passes, while Korean Air Lounge has an airline restriction even when you buy a pass. Air Busan also sells access through its own channels. The lounges below are in the International Terminal after passport control and security: do not buy one of these passes for a domestic departure.
Quick answer
Which Gimhae (PUS) lounge should you choose?
For an international departure, compare Skyhub and N Skyhub by gate location and opening hours. Korean Air Lounge is another bookable choice only if your flight is operated by Korean Air or a SkyTeam airline. For domestic departures, check your airline's facilities or the airport's separate paid waiting rooms instead.
International - Gates 2 and 3
N Skyhub Lounge
The other Skyhub location, on the second floor opposite Gates 2 and 3. Compare it with your departure gate before choosing a pass.
International - Gate 4
Korean Air Lounge
Third floor, next to Gate 4. A Korean Air or SkyTeam-operated flight is required even with a paid pass. Check opening hours before buying.

International departure lounges
Choose the lounge for your flight and gate, not just its name. The two Skyhub locations are separate lounges on the second floor. Korean Air and Air Busan are on the third floor. Check the pass duration and opening hours on the provider's page before buying.

Skyhub Lounge
Day pass available
International Terminal, second floor, between Gates 9 and 10, after passport control and security. Paid passes are sold online, with food, drinks and seating included. Our practical pick if this is the more convenient location for your gate.

Korean Air Lounge
Day pass available
International Terminal, third floor, next to Gate 4, after passport control and security. A pass is available, but only for flights operated by Korean Air or a SkyTeam airline. Priority Pass also publishes that restriction. Confirm your flight operator and the lounge's opening hours before paying.
Air Busan Lounge
Airline, status or membership access
International departures, third floor. Air Busan sells access online and on site, and states that passengers using other airlines may purchase on site. Entry depends on capacity. Check whether your Air Busan booking already includes lounge access before buying separately.
Domestic departures and airport paid waiting rooms
The international passes above are not domestic-terminal passes. For a domestic flight, ask your airline about facilities available with your ticket. If you need a private room, the airport separately rents paid waiting rooms; these are not the same product as the international lounges.
Domestic Terminal paid waiting rooms
The airport lists rooms in the general waiting areas on Floors 1 and 2. Contact the airport at least a day ahead and obtain approval; do not expect to buy an ordinary lounge pass at the door.
International Terminal paid waiting room
Listed in the general waiting area on Floor 2, with the same advance-application requirement. It is separate from the airside lounges above. Check current fees and permitted use directly with the airport.
Tip:Before buying a pass.Check your departure terminal, flight operator, opening hours and permitted stay. A pass does not let you enter a departure area you cannot access with your boarding pass, or override airline restrictions and capacity limits.
Already have airline or card access?
Check your airline booking and lounge programme before paying separately. An eligible cabin, status benefit or card entitlement may already cover your visit, but guest allowances and charges depend on the programme.
Air Busan's own page includes a Priority Pass access guide and asks travellers to check their card's terms. For Korean Air Lounge, Priority Pass specifies Korean Air or SkyTeam-operated flights: holding a card alone is not enough. Do not assume one programme's rules apply to every paid pass or lounge.
If you are still deciding whether to stay in the terminal, head into Busan, or book a room near the airport, the layover guide is the better next read.

Gimhae Paid Waiting Room Info
Check Gimhae Airport's official paid waiting room page if you need private pre-security waiting space in either terminal.
Need sleep rather than a pre-flight lounge?
If you need a bed or a private shower, compare an airport-area hotel instead of assuming a lounge pass includes either. Check check-in times, transport and any entry requirements before planning to leave the terminal. Our PUS layover and transfer guides explain the wider options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which lounges are in Gimhae Airport's international terminal?
The options covered here are Skyhub, N Skyhub, Korean Air Lounge and Air Busan Lounge. All four are in the international departure area. The airport's paid waiting rooms are separate facilities, not additional buffet lounges.
Can you buy a Gimhae lounge pass without a membership?
Paid passes are sold for Skyhub and N Skyhub in international departures. Korean Air Lounge also has a paid pass, but requires a Korean Air or SkyTeam-operated flight. Air Busan permits other airlines' passengers to buy on site, subject to capacity. Check the specific entry terms before buying.
Can I use these lounge passes for a domestic flight?
No. The international lounge passes in this guide are not valid for domestic departures. Check any airline facilities included with your ticket.

Can you use a Korean Air Lounge pass when flying another airline?
Only if the flight meets the pass's airline conditions. The pass is only valid on a flight operated by Korean Air or a SkyTeam airline. Buying a pass does not remove that restriction. Compare Skyhub or N Skyhub if your flight is not eligible.
