At a glance
The only lounge in Terminal 2. An Aena-run pay-in lounge with a proper place to work and food worth planning a meal around — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 160, leaves drinks self-serve, and has three shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 6 AM – 11 PM daily. It was last refreshed in 2019. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass (Access subject to capacity; max 3 hours before departure). Entry conditions and availability apply.
