Lounge Review: Premium Lounge (Terminal 2) - Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN)
Lounge Review: Premium Lounge (Terminal 2) - Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN)

Terminal 2 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) is a relatively new addition to the third busiest airport in China. Officially opened back in April 2018, this 600,000 sqm space is home to China Southern Airlines but more importantly, a brand new lounge (accessible via Priority Pass) that I was meaning to check out — Premium Lounge. My flight from Guangzhou back to Singapore was on Singapore Airlines and it was conveniently departing from the relatively-new Terminal 2 of the airport.
