At a glance
One of six lounges in Terminal 1, and the best-rated of them. An airline lounge with room to get work done in peace, 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. Hours are 5 AM – 10 PM daily. Opened in 2017 and refreshed in 2023, so it doesn't feel its age. Among the best lounges we track: worth a longer connection. Recorded access options include oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access — oneworld Sapphire/Emerald, and oneworld business/first passengers, on a same-day oneworld flight. Entry conditions and availability apply.
