Time for an airport lounge review — this time at Busan Gimhae International Airport!
Busan Gimhae Airport has 4 airport lounges in total, two of which are Sky Hub Lounges — one near Gate 2 & 3, and another near Gate 9. Today I’m reviewing the one near Gate 2 & 3.
I got access through a complimentary lounge benefit from my HSBC travel credit card. Priority Pass and Lounge Key are also accepted here — read on for all the details!

Sky Hub Lounge | Location
After clearing customs and passing through immigration, head straight toward Gate 2 and Gate 3 — you’ll spot Sky Hub Lounge right there.
The lounge appears to have opened fairly recently — everything still feels brand new inside.
Sky Hub Lounge | Facilities & Ambiance
Upon entering, head to the reception desk and show your boarding pass along with your access QR code. Once verified, you’re in!
Sky Hub Lounge has a generous number of seats with wide, open walkways — it never felt cramped, even with other guests around.
There are also private booth-style seats available — great if you want some privacy before your flight.
Sky Hub Lounge | Food & Drinks
Now for the highlight — the buffet! 😄
The food selection is primarily Korean, with some Western and Chinese options mixed in — personally I loved it!
They even had Korean fried chicken! There was something next to it that I didn’t get to try — not sure what it was!
There’s also a salad bar and Korean cuisine station where you can build your own bibimbap — absolutely loved this!
For drinks, the selection is solid — juice, coffee, soft drinks, still water, and beer!
There were also two soup options available — I had the beef soup from the station next to it, which was delicious!
Sky Hub Lounge | Overall Review
Honestly, Sky Hub Lounge exceeded my expectations!
The space is large, it wasn’t crowded at all, and the food was genuinely good — with a heavy Korean focus that almost made me not want to leave Korea! Overall, I’d highly recommend it.
I only spotted the DIY bibimbap station after watching the person next to me build theirs — so I made a small one to avoid overeating 😄
The Korean tteokbokki (rice cakes) were also fantastic — not too salty, not too sweet, and packed with fishcake and fish balls. A very satisfying dish!
Sky Hub Lounge | How to Get In
I accessed the lounge through a complimentary airport lounge benefit included with my HSBC travel credit card. The lounge partners with many banks and access programs — most notably Priority Pass and Lounge Key are both accepted here.
If you don’t have any of the above, you can also purchase walk-in access through Klook or KKday — prices are around KRW 700–800, which is actually quite affordable compared to other airport lounges!
