Be sure to check the specific requirements and usage limits of your card.
The paid admission price for Matina Lounge is $45 USD for adults and $19 USD for children. Admission is free for children under 36 months old.

One of the biggest advantages of Matina Lounge is its buffet-style food selection. They offer salads, fried rice, chicken, and even instant noodles – a must-have for Korean travelers.
You can also enjoy desserts like fruit, cake, pastries, yogurt, and cereal.
Carbonated drinks, juices, brewed coffee, beer, and wine are also available.
Personally, this was my first visit to Incheon Airport Terminal 2, and I was very satisfied with Matina Lounge as it was more pleasant and cleaner than the Matina Lounge in Terminal 1.
Fried rice, french fries, bread, and yogurt are suitable for children. While there isn't a separate baby food menu inside the lounge, there are plenty of options available on the regular buffet that a baby can eat. My 32-month-old child had plenty to choose from.
My first visit to the Matina Lounge in Incheon Airport Terminal 2 was a pleasant experience. It was easy to find, had plenty of seating, and with a capacity of 203 seats, the wait time wasn't long. There were various table arrangements (single seats, two-person seats, family seats) to suit different needs. With various free entry benefits and a rich buffet, it was a comfortable Incheon Airport lounge to use with a baby.
