Guide by Lounge Frog

At a glance
One of two lounges in Terminal A, and the best-rated of them. An airline lounge with a door that keeps the crowds out — though the food won't make a meal and the Wi-Fi and power can't be relied on. It seats around 20 and leaves drinks self-serve. Hours are 4 AM – 9 PM daily. It opened in 2023. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access — Same-day ITA Airways departures only; Business class or Miles & More Senator/HON Circle (ITA joined Star Alliance April 2026). Entry conditions and availability apply.
