At a glance
One of nine lounges in Main Terminal, ranking 6th among them. An airport-operated lounge with a proper place to work, food worth planning a meal around, and showers worth building a layover around — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 250, leaves drinks self-serve, and has four shower suites to freshen up in. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include DragonPass and LoungeKey. Entry conditions and availability apply.
