At a glance
The only lounge in Concourse E. An airline lounge with enough quiet for a read or a nap and a door that keeps the crowds out — though the food won't make a meal and upkeep lets it down. It seats around 60 and runs a full bar. Hours are 4 PM – 8 PM daily. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Galleries Lounge and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
