Lijiang Sanyi Airport LJGZPLJ

Lijiang Sanyi Airport (LJG) is a regional tourism airport for Lijiang and northwest Yunnan, not a major global-alliance hub. It is useful for point-to-point domestic travel and some regional international services, with Lucky Air treating Lijiang as a focus city rather than a full alliance hub. The airport has separate domestic and international terminal buildings, so most connections should be treated as a small-airport, landside-style transfer unless your airline confirms through-check and protected transfer handling. For the city, ride-hailing or taxi is usually the simplest option for frequent flyers, taking roughly 35-50 minutes to Lijiang Old Town or central hotels in normal conditions; airport buses exist but are less flexible for tight arrivals. Lounges are mostly airport/common-use first-class or VIP rooms, not flagship airline lounges, and third-party access should be checked in your card or lounge app before travel.
