At a glance
One of five lounges in Main Terminal — Central & International Pier, and the lowest-rated of them. An independent lounge with proper tarmac views — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It runs a full bar. Hours are 4 AM – 9 PM daily. It was last refreshed in 2019. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include DragonPass, No1 Lounges, and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
