When it comes to airport lounges in Japan, I used to think most of them—especially the ones accessible with gold cards or Priority Pass—were limited to basic drink bars, with maybe a can of beer or a small snack. But Nagoya’s Centrair Airport proves otherwise! Right before the security check, you’ll find the Premium Lounge Centrair, located in Terminal 1, offering unlimited drinks—including alcohol!
This lounge welcomes you both before and after your flight, provided you show your same-day boarding pass. There’s also a second lounge, Premium Lounge Centrair 2, outside the restricted area of Terminal 1. While the amenities are similar, the accepted cards and operating hours differ slightly. Be sure to check the official website for details beforehand. Note: Priority Pass is not accepted here.
The seating includes single chairs with small side tables, spaced out generously to provide a comfortable experience. While the seats are fairly close side-by-side, the spacious layout in front makes it feel open. There are also shared table spaces for two, though I personally found the single-chair setup more comfortable.
For those who prefer counter seating, that’s available too, and every seat comes with its own power outlet and access to Wi-Fi.
Here’s the drink bar—complete with a coffee machine offering Centrair’s original coffee blend for a premium coffee experience.
And here’s where it gets exciting: the alcohol selection! You’ll find draft beer options like Kirin Ichiban Shibori and Heartland, as well as highballs, ciders, whiskey, and spirits. It feels more like a bar than a lounge!
For snacks, there’s a variety of options, from mixed nuts and shrimp crackers to chocolate-covered wheat snacks and banana chips. Turn the dispenser to grab your preferred treat.
Even if you’re not into alcohol, there’s something for everyone. I personally loved the refreshing blood orange juice they had in a pitcher.
Honestly, this lounge alone is reason enough to choose Centrair Airport for my next trip. I’m already thinking about what plans I can make to come back!
