There is no domestic lounge in ICN, not even a priority pass lounge, only lounges for Koreans that are not part of a wide network. Instead of working productively, I had to wander the terminal. As an Elite Plus, KE gave me a $5 voucher to buy a cup of coffee at Dunkin Doughnuts. Next time I will avoid transiting ICN and use NRT instead.
Well all of the good lounges are international lounges. I can't think of many good domestic lounges anywhere in the ST system.
