Waiting areas by concourse
- S1 — domestic waiting and boarding halls on Level 2, international waiting and boarding halls on Level 3.
- S2 — domestic waiting and boarding halls on Levels 1 and 2, international waiting and boarding halls on Levels 1 and 3.
Lounges in the satellite halls
- VIP Lounge 120B (S1, Domestic) — Wi-Fi, internet terminals and snacks.
- VIP Lounge 135B (S1, International) — snacks and drinks.
If you are connecting at Pudong, allow extra time for the MRT transfer between the main terminal and the satellite hall, particularly on long-distance international connections.
