CI and BR are based in TPE, it's their home hub, so they have many lounges. Us SkyTeam elite can only go to the normal lounge. If you are CI or BR top elite, you can go into the exclusive lounge. I been in there are a few times because my traveling coworker has either Diamond on BR or Paragon on CI, so we used the VIP lounge. Even the non-VIP regular lounge, which is what I referred to, is incredibly good compare to DL. You just have to learn how to order from the noodle bar - their beef noodle is restaurant quality for sure.

Thanks wlau. I am a Diamond MM but I didn't book my J fare through Delta. I booked it direct with China Air. Will they allow me in the T2 lounge if I'm flying J on CI ticket stock? And isn't it upstairs just after passport control?
