At a glance
One of five lounges in Main Terminal — Central & International Pier, and the best-rated of them. A premium independent lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 104 and runs a full bar. Hours are 3:30 AM – 8:30 PM daily. It opened in 2026. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Aspire Lounges, DragonPass (Upgrade fee payable; subject to availability), and Priority Pass (£15 upgrade fee at the door; subject to availability). Entry conditions and availability apply.
