At a glance

One of seven lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 2nd among them. An airline lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and Wi-Fi and power you can rely on. It seats around 150, pours beer and wine, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours vary by day (Mon 12 PM – 12 AM; Tue 7 AM – 12 AM; Wed 12 PM – 12 AM; Thu 7 AM – 12 AM; Fri 12 PM – 12 AM; Sat 7 AM – 12 AM; Sun 12 PM – 12 AM), so check before a very early or late flight. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Air France Lounge, Priority Pass, and SkyTeam Elite Plus Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
