China-Chengdu Airport

This is a series meant to help you find the best of the best in lounges everywhere.

Our 12-year-old, Jack has become a lounger-extraordinaire. He knows how to get the most out of any lounge experience and always manages to get our full money’s worth out of any visit. As a result, we have come up with a lounge rating system according to our very discerning lounge critic. Enjoy, and may you too achieve lounge nirvana!

Very light prepackaged snacks were provided, some of which were lemon Oreos (score). This is the only reason our young critic even gave the sustenance score a measely 1 point. Were it not for the yummy cookies, the overall score of this lounge would have dropped significantly. Jack was not very impressed, especially because there were no in-lounge bathrooms or massaging chairs available (yes, he is completely spoiled by certain lounge amenities).
