At a glance
One of six lounges in Terminal 3, ranking 5th among them. An independent lounge with food worth planning a meal around and staff who look after you — though upkeep lets it down and anyone with a day pass can get in. Hours are 12 AM – 11:59 PM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Priority Pass — Access subject to the lounge's published stay limits, capacity controls and same-day travel requirements.. Entry conditions and availability apply.
