At a glance
One of seven lounges in Terminal 2, ranking 3rd among them. A hub lounge with enough quiet for a read or a nap, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 200, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. It opened in 2024. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access — For eligible Star Alliance Gold customers travelling on a qualifying same-day Star Alliance itinerary; airline and guest rules apply.. Entry conditions and availability apply.
