Korean Air Prestige Lounge P2 Review at Incheon Airport Terminal 2 for Asiana Business Class

Here’s my review of the Korean Air Prestige Lounge East Left (P2) at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2, which Asiana Business Class passengers can now use.

Since Asiana Airlines and Korean Air merged, Asiana moved to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2, and business-class passengers now share the Korean Air lounge as well.

This year, I flew Asiana Business Class twice in a row—once to Fukuoka and once to Sapporo—and both times I ended up using the Korean Air Prestige Lounge East Left (P2)before my flight.

At first, the lounge signs only showed names like East Left or Garden West, like in the image above,

but these days, with the First Class Lounge now open and more lounge locations in operation, they also label them with initials like P, F, and M.

My husband and I definitely prefer P2, the East Left lounge. Luckily, our departure gates have always been assigned fairly close to P2, so aside from one visit to P4 (Garden West), we still haven’t made it to P1 or P5.

I compared the differences and similarities between the Korean Air lounge East Left and East Right below. That said, things seem to change pretty often, so some details may be slightly different depending on when you read this.

You can check the Korean Air lounge’s real-time crowd level at the link below.

Korean Air Lounge East Left

First, there are luggage lockers right near the entrance,

and farther inside, you’ll find all kinds of seating. The tables near the food area are always the most crowded, while the seats closer to the entrance tend to be much easier to grab.

There’s also a large bar, and the bar seats have always seemed pretty open. I didn’t take a separate photo of the alcohol menu this time, so I’m reusing an older photo.

Inside the lounge, there are men’s and women’s restrooms, shower rooms, and a nursing room that doubles as a baby care room. There’s also a diaper-changing station.

There’s even an arcade, which makes it a fun place to kill a little time. Inside, there are two free photo booths where you can take Korean-style four-cut pictures, so we stop by every time we visit. You can’t print the photos on the spot, but you can download the files to your phone.

Food

The signature feature of the East Left lounge is the Ramen Library.

You don’t actually pull ramen off the bookshelf display. If you go behind it, there’s a free vending machine where you choose your ramen and take it out there. My only complaint is that the ramen area feels way too cramped.

There are six stations on the self-cooking ramen machine, but the Ramen Library is always so popular that six honestly doesn’t feel like enough.

There’s also a bibimbap station where you can build your own bowl, and I liked that they had both white rice and multigrain rice, which meant our baby could have plain rice.

There’s fruit, milk, bread, and mini cakes too. I’m not sure if the menu changes daily, but it does seem a little different every time I go.

These photos were taken over two separate visits, so the food looks slightly different. Muffins and pastries seem to be available pretty consistently.

There’s cheese that pairs well with wine, plus mini pizzas.

Along with salads, there are Korean dishes like samgyetang-style chicken, vegetable curry, braised quail eggs with konjac, and gochujang bulgogi.

There are also Western-style options like rosé chicken stew, garlic butter grilled shrimp, roasted cauliflower, and basil cream pasta, and they’re decent enough.

They also have soupy tteokbokki and fried snacks, but the tteokbokki isn’t amazing. The tteokbokki at Matina Lounge is much better.

There are also two kinds of gimbap and some small sandwiches. In summer, though, I usually skip the gimbap just to be safe.

The ice cream here is actually really good, and they set out toppings like chocolate balls on the side, which make it even better. If you go in the morning, they sometimes have cereal too.

Overall, I wouldn’t say the food is incredible, but it doesn’t feel low-quality either. For this level of lounge, I’d say it holds up pretty well compared with airline lounges around the world.

And honestly, if nothing else looks appealing, you can always just make yourself a bowl of ramen.

Since our baby is still little, there isn’t a huge amount she can eat in the lounge yet, but I think once she’s a bit older, there’ll be plenty we can enjoy together.

For families, there are high chairs in the lounge. There don’t seem to be many of them, but I was happy to see they use the Stokke Tripp Trapp.

If you’re flying business class or have a Morning Calm lounge voucher, I definitely recommend stopping by before departure.
