At a glance

One of seven lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 4th among them. An airline lounge with food and drink worth arriving early for, coffee made by a person rather than a button, and staff who look after you. It seats around 150, pours beer and wine, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 9 AM – 12 AM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Priority Pass, Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access, and Turkish Airlines Lounge. Entry conditions and availability apply.
