Beijing (PEK) airport lounges — which credit card gets you in

Beijing Capital International Airport runs 6 lounges we can put a source under. 105 of the 1119 cards we track open at least one of those doors — 61 of them only if you clear a spend or tier gate. Below: every door with its terminal, hours, stay cap, guest fee and the exact cards that walk in. No "check with your bank".

PP code PEK6, and the second card door in T3 — worth knowing because T3E is where the long Beijing connections sit and the BGS flagship fills up. It is really an airside transit HOTEL with a lounge attached, so the draw is the shower block and the day beds rather than the food; the à-la-carte menu is chargeable. International departures only, 2h cap, under-2s free.

PP code PEK14, and the most generous card door at PEK — no stay cap and unlimited guests, where every BGS room caps you at 2h and charges US$35 a head. Also carried in the Diners Club International directory under the same PEK14 code. The catch is the clock rather than the card — it opens 90 minutes before Hainan's first departure and shuts after its last, so an off-peak connection can find it dark.

One of the very few flag-carrier FIRST class lounges anywhere that a Priority Pass card opens, which is the whole reason to walk past the BGS room in the same terminal. Daytime hours only — 09:00–21:00, so it is no use to the late-evening departure bank. 4.1/5 on PP.

PP code PEK18, and the narrowest door at PEK — read the restriction before you count on it: PP admits you only if you are on a DOMESTIC departure flying China Eastern (MU), Shanghai Airlines (FM), China United (KN) or another SkyTeam carrier. An Indian cardholder connecting internationally does not qualify, whatever the card. Opens 05:00 and closes with the last MU departure; unlimited guests for those who do qualify.

How access works hereFold that back up 3 access networks · 105 cards that get in, one by one

Which card gets you in

Lounge access is not one thing — it is 3 different machines at this airport, and your card is on some of them and not others. Each block below is one machine: the doors it opens here, and every tracked card that carries it. A card in more than one block gets in more than one way.

Priority Pass Global

6 of 6 doors · 95 cards

The same membership everywhere OUTSIDE India — the rooms it was really sold for. Split from the India estate because a card can carry one and not the other: SBI grants its PP visits “outside India only”, AU prices every within-India visit at $35 + taxes.

Mastercard Global

2 of 6 doors · 1 card

The same programme’s rooms OUTSIDE India, split out because a card can carry one estate and not the other — fourteen cards whose own terms say “no international access” were reaching all of these.

Opens: BGS Premier Lounge ×2

° The access is spend- or tier-gated: hover the card, or open its page for the exact trigger. A gate you miss is a door that does not open, whatever the brochure said.

If no card of yours opens a door

Not one door at PEK publishes a walk-in price. That is not the same as "you cannot pay" — most desks will sell you an entry — it means no rate we can source, so we quote none. If a card below doesn't open the door, budget for a desk quote in local currency.

Worth doing the arithmetic before you swipe: a ₹3,000 walk-in is a bad trade against a card whose whole annual fee buys a season of visits — that comparison is exactly what the lounge-card ranking computes.

This is one airport out of 123 with a page of its own — the full map, every airport and every railway lounge we hold, is on the lounge map.
