Korean Air has completed the first phase of its lounge renewal project at Incheon International Airport. The redesigned Miler Club and Prestige East Lounge, as well as two new Prestige Garden lounges, have opened.
Hotel-style lobbies welcome guests into distinct zones for dining, relaxation, meetings and wellness. Live Stations have been introduced with chefs from the Grand Hyatt Incheon preparing dishes on-site, bringing an interactive dining element to the lounge experience.
The new Miler Club and Prestige East Lounge feature open kitchens where guests can watch chefs preparing seasonal signature dishes. The buffet includes Korean and Western selections, a bakery and a salad bar.
Western dishes include handmade pizzas, freshly baked croissants and chef-carved beef. Korean specialities range from freshly rolled gimbap to a noodle bar serving tteokguk (rice cake soup) and janchi guksu (banquet noodles).
A dedicated bartender mixes cocktails and, in the Miler Club, a barista prepares coffee.
Guests can enjoy a wellness area with massage chairs, a tech zone for device use and a meeting room with a large conference screen. Additionally, shower facilities offer private powder rooms and premium amenities.
Hanok-inspired architectural elements are integrated into the design of the interiors, marrying a traditional Korean aesthetic with modern luxury in a palette of gold, charcoal, black and ivory.
The Prestige Garden East Lounge overlooks a traditional Korean-style outdoor garden. Meanwhile, the Prestige Garden West Lounge provides views of a modern Western Garden.
On completion, Korean Air’s total lounge space at Incheon will expand from 5,105 to 12,270 square metres, while total capacity will nearly double from 898 to 1,566 seats.
The lounge renewal is part of the airline’s infrastructure investment ahead of full integration with Asiana Airlines. The objective is to ensure sufficient capacity and premium service for the combined passenger base.
