Plaza Premium Lounge (A)

Guide by Lounge Frog
Details checked
At a glance
One of five lounges in Terminal 3 (Concourse A), and the lowest-rated of them. An independent lounge with a bar worth the visit and staff who look after you — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It runs a full bar. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. It opened in 2020. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Plaza Premium and Priority Pass (Max stay 2 hours). Entry conditions and availability apply.
