The First Class Lounge now spans 921 square meters, which is 2.3 times larger than the previous facility. The space is divided into an open hall and 11 private suites so passengers can relax in a secluded environment before boarding.
The interior draws inspiration from traditional Korean architecture, utilizing wood pillars, beams and ramie (mosi) textures. Key features include meals served à la carte, traditional recipes, Christofle cutlery, Bernardaud porcelain, Baccarat and Riedel glassware, white porcelain by Lee Ki-jo, traditional brassware by Lee Hyung-geun, an art collection with works by Anish Kapoor and acclaimed Korean artists, and a wellness zone

Spanning 2,615 square meters with more than 420 seats, the Prestige Class West Lounge is the largest single lounge facility at Incheon International Airport. The design mirrors the brand identity of Korean Air’s premium cabins, utilizing a palette of gold, black and ivory. Additionally, the lounge features an expansive buffet featuring Korean and Western cuisine, live cooking stations, a full-service bar, digital art and installations, a dedicated Tech Zone with work stations for business travelers, and a wellness area with premium massage chairs.
Korean Air’s total lounge footprint at Incheon has expanded from 5,105 to 12,270 square meters, increasing total seating capacity from 898 to 1,566 seats. Korean Air operates seven lounges at Incheon Terminal 2: First Class, Miler Club, Prestige East Left, Prestige East Right, Prestige West, Prestige Garden East and Prestige Garden West.
