Matina Lounge is one of the more reliable lounge options at Incheon Airport, especially if you're looking for a place with a decent spread of Korean food and a clean, well-maintained environment.
They accept Priority Pass, but guest access depends on how your membership was obtained—whether directly from Priority Pass or through a credit card. Be sure to check your plan details before arriving with a guest to avoid surprises at the entrance. Make sure to go to Matina Lounge, not Matina Gold, if you're planning to use Priority Pass, as only the regular Matina Lounge participates in the program.
Lines can get quite long, especially during peak hours, but they move surprisingly fast thanks to the efficient front staff. If it’s busy inside, a staff member will seat and escort you to a table, which helps with the flow and prevents overcrowding in the buffet area. It can get a bit chaotic, with some guests acting like it’s their first time seeing food—so just be prepared for a little bustle.
The space itself is clean, organized, and well-kept. Matina offers a better variety of Korean dishes such as tteokbokki, doenjang-guk, banchan, and mandu. There's self-serve draft beer, wine, coffee, and juice stations, and the food gets replenished regularly.
Note: There isn’t a bathroom inside the lounge, but it's conveniently located just across the hall, so not a huge...
Read moreSeoul is the world’s 4th largest city, Incheon airport beautiful, Matina lounge in terminal 2 is by far the worst airport lounge I have been too. It’s 34c outside and 29c inside this lounge. The food is cheap, low quality with very few options. Tap beer is okay, not cold enough but it’s okay, wine is bottom shelf like cool aid, NO liquor! None! There are no shower options and no bathrooms? Really you have to exit the lounge and walk to the public toilets. This is my first ever lounge review, I was amazed at a 4 star overall rating, at very best on a good day 2 stars, and a 1 star rating compared to other Asia countries like Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and even Indonesia. I have a Priority Pass and my review is based on other Priority Pass lounges. I wish I could have given Matina lounge a higher rating because I fly through...

Out of all the selection on that day we enjoyed the beef bones, crab congee, Thai vermicelli salad and the tteokbokki. During breakfast they also have eggs and sausage but we didnt try it. They also have rice and sides for you to enjoy Lots of juices and desserts. Desserts were meh wouldn't eat them again. There's also fruit, wine, coffee tea and beer
This place is really busy so it can get quite loud. You get 3 hours to stay and we only stayed for 1 as there were people waiting outside to get in. There is quite a bit of seating and it was never completely full as turnover is quite high. There is no...
