The Matina Lounge(마티나 라운지 인천공항1터미널서편) is located in Incheon Airport Terminal 2 on the 4th floor of the duty-free area, directly across from Gate 252.
After clearing departure security, enter the duty-free zone, head toward Gate 252, and take the escalator up to the 4th floor. The lounge is situated above the Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci stores, making it easy to spot.
Accessibility and Nearby Facilities
The lounge is located across from the duty-free pickup area, which makes it especially convenient to visit after collecting online duty-free purchases.
The Matina Gold Lounge is located right next door, so checking the entrance sign carefully helps avoid confusion.

What Is a Priority Pass Card
Priority Pass is a global lounge membership program that provides access to over 1,200 airport lounges worldwide.
