Martina Lounge Review: Free Access with Credit Card Perks at Incheon Airport Terminal 2

Hi, I'm Karam, an office worker in Seoul.
I used the Martina Lounge for free at Incheon Airport Terminal 1 last time, thanks to my affiliated credit card benefits.
I was happy to find it at Incheon Airport Terminal 2 as well, so I used it for free again this time. There was about a 40-minute wait to enter the lounge.
I'm making the most of my card benefits, even when traveling alone! ✨
By registering your affiliated credit card in The Lounge app, you can use the lounge for free depending on the benefits offered by your credit card company.
The card I use is the Hana Jade Card Classic. The annual fee is ₩120,000, but the benefits are great.
I've detailed how to get the card and register it on The Lounge app in my previous review of the Martina Lounge, so please refer to that. 😉
With the holiday season starting, I thought the departure hall would be crowded and it would take a long time to get in. But I got in sooner than expected, so I came to use the lounge.
📍 The Martina Lounge in Incheon Airport Terminal 2 is located on the 4th floor near Gate 252.
I went around 7 AM, and I was surprised to see a long queue. So many diligent people…
I wasn't sure if I'd have enough time before boarding, but I joined the queue anyway.
I waited in line for about 40 minutes. But the line moved faster than I thought!
While waiting in line, I activated my ticket in The Lounge app and diligently worked on my blog post.
Martina Lounge is open from ⏰ 6 AM to 10 PM. Last entry is at 9:30 PM. Once you enter, you can use it for up to 3 hours.
If your affiliated credit card benefits don't apply, the lounge entrance fee is USD 45 for adults and USD 19 for children.
But personally, if I didn't have a discount or an affiliated card, I don't think it's worth paying to eat there…
I'd rather go to the food court and eat something else. But if you have an affiliated card and can enter for free? Then definitely go to the Martina Lounge!
When you show your ticket, they will guide you to a seat. Terminal 2 is much larger and has more comfortable seats than the lounge in Incheon Airport Terminal 1.
The food menu seems similar.
The salad bar at Martina Lounge is buffet style. You can grab a plate and utensils and eat as much as you want.
There are salads, yogurt, Korean dishes, bread, tteokbokki, sundae, fried foods like gimari, scrambled eggs, bacon, and even salmon papillote!
The menu is more substantial and varied than I expected. I also liked the dessert menu: four types of fruit and even cake.
Of course, you can't forget the cup noodles! I can never forget the taste of ramen I eat in the lounge before going on an overseas trip.
Just like in Terminal 1, they have Jin Ramen (spicy) and Chapagetti Bowl.
They also have coffee and soft drinks. And a variety of juices, including 2%, mango juice, plum juice, orange juice, and apple juice.
The seat I was guided to was a sofa seat, which was very comfortable. And what was even better was that there was a charging outlet right under the table.
It was perfect for charging my phone while watching Netflix and eating.

Since it was early in the morning, I didn't eat as much as I thought I would. I finished with two plates of dessert… But I still made sure to eat a cup of ramen!
I rested and ate in a comfortable chair until 30 minutes before boarding, then walked to the boarding gate.
And as I was walking to the gate, I saw that there's a Martina Lounge near Gate 249? I took a picture of it, and after looking it up, I found out that the one near Gates 249/250 is called Martina Lounge Gold. I don't know if you can enter there for free with an affiliated card.
You can use the lounge for free up to 3 times a year with the Hana Jade Card. I've already gone twice, so I only have one left.
I'm planning to go abroad again at the end of October, and I'm going to use the lounge for free then too!
This time, I'll get the benefit of one free guest, so it'll be two of us in total! Make sure you all take full advantage of your affiliated credit card benefits!
That's all for Karam's visit review, paid for with my own money(?).
