At a glance

One of five lounges in International Terminal, ranking 2nd among them. An airport-operated lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 800, runs a full bar, and has six shower suites to freshen up in. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. It opened in 2019. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
