One of four lounges in Terminal A, ranking 2nd among them. A compact lounge with food and drink worth arriving early for, coffee made by a person rather than a button, and proper tarmac views. It seats around 137 and runs a full bar. Hours are 4 AM – 7:15 PM daily. It opened in 2023. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Admirals Club and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
