Shenzhen Airport Satellite Terminal Boarding and Lounge Guide: Convenient and Comfortable Flight Experience
I recently went to Shenzhen Airport to take a flight and experienced the satellite terminal and lounge. It was really nice. Let me share my tips.
Go to the satellite terminal to board the flight
If your flight boarding gate is between 501 - 583, you need to go to the satellite terminal to wait. First go to the departure hall on the fourth floor of Terminal T3, and go to the corresponding airline counter with your ticket and ID card to check in and check your baggage. You can also check in online in advance and check in by yourself in the departure hall. The deadline for checking in boarding passes and checking in luggage at Shenzhen Airport for domestic flights is 40 minutes before departure, so be sure to pay attention to the time.
After completing the formalities and going through security check, you can see the obvious entrance sign to the satellite terminal. Take the elevator to the underground MRT platform on the first floor of Terminal T3 and take the driverless MRT train to the Satellite Terminal. The whole journey takes only about 3 minutes. After arriving at the satellite terminal's underground MRT platform on the first floor, take the elevator to the third floor departure lounge and follow the signs to the designated boarding gate. Please note that domestic flights generally close for boarding 20 minutes before departure, so don't miss the time.
Satellite Hall Lounge Experience
The satellite terminal's lounge is on the fourth floor. For example, China Southern Airlines' lounge is located above Gate 560. The entry qualifications of different airline lounges vary. Generally, first-class and business-class passengers, as well as senior members of the airline can enter. Some lounges also accept paid entry.
Entering the lounge, you will find it spacious and quiet. The rest area has a variety of comfortable seats, and some lounges also have reclining seats and private rooms for travelers to rest. The dining area offers a wide range of food and beverages, including hot food, snacks, desserts and alcoholic beverages. For example, the China Southern Airlines lounge not only offers hot food such as beef brisket noodles and fried rice, but also fresh fruits and cakes and desserts. In addition, the lounge is equipped with free Wi-Fi, charging facilities, newspapers and magazines, TV, etc. Some also have business areas, massage areas, and children's areas, which can meet your needs whether it is rest, work or entertainment. The boarding process at the Shenzhen Airport Satellite Terminal is clear and the lounge is very comfortable. You may want to experience it next time you go to Shenzhen Airport.
