We have Smartium Economy tickets for our ICN-LHR flights in early January which give access to the OZ Business Class Lounge in T1. I’d be nervous about that benefit still applying when travelling on/after the 14th Jan.

Does it mean that *A benefits will end on that day too? There is no *A lounge in T2 according to staralliance.com

I wonder if this is a preemptory indicator of Skyteam status (or at least, KE status)?

I just flew OZ yesterday out of ICN and I asked in the lounge about the lounge arrangement in January 2026 and the OZ staff said OZ elites and Star Gold passengers will be using the KE lounges in Terminal 2.

I’ve noticed no reduction in uptake of Smartium Economy seats from ICN to LHR on dates after the 14th January, I’m guessing that the benefit will remain (but wonder if there is a restriction on which KE lounge can be used)

Does everyone really think, you won't be able to use the KE lounge in Terminal 1 and you have to move to Terminal 2 for it...lol... Just use the KE lounge if you have access to it through status or your ticket

This thread is about OZ flights moving to T2.
Whether lounges in T1 can or cant be used is irrelevant here.

Have you seen the new KE lounge in Terminal 2? It is a huge improvement from what they had before.

I used the OZ lounge for the last time yesterday at T1. With no OZ flights planned for the next few weeks, I said goodbye to the lounge there. Funny the gates were fully opened when I went.. Anyone could just walk in?

I wonder what they are going to do with such a big space. I would imagine moving OZ flights to T2 would also relieve some of the pressure on SQ's SilverKris lounge

Or SilverKris lounge will bear the brunt of all Star Alliance member flights?

I think this is why I believe the Asiana lounge may still operate at T1 after Jan 14th. To handle SA passengers on non-Asiana flights.

Therell be a significant decrease in numbers of OZ pax using the lounge next years as, from Dec 11th 25, purchasing front row extra leg room seats no longer gains the passenger access to a lounge (for ex ICN flights to Europe/N America).

The cost of these seats has been reduced by about 20USD and those with top tier membership and economy passengers in the highest 3 fare codes (Y & 2 others) can now have these seats allocated for free.

As of today, OZ lounge is still listed as operating on OZ website https://m.flyasiana.com/C/KR/EN/travel/airport/lounge - listed for "regular" Star Alliance passengers. Can anyone confirm it is still operating? At some point though, some one is going to have to fill the void

Asiana still operates its lounges at Terminal 1. The east-wing lounges (Asiana Business Lounge East, Asiana Business Suite Lounge) will be shut down this year and the other two lounges will be repurposed. This was reported by local news outlets (in Korean). You can also read our summary on the lounge status at Terminal 1.

After Asiana Lounge East is shut down and Asiana Lounge Central is repurposed, regular *G passenger can access Star Alliance Lounge, formerly the Asiana Lounge West.
