At a glance

One of seven lounges in Terminal 1, and the lowest-rated of them. A landside lounge — seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 60 and pours beer and wine. Hours are 8 AM – 12 AM daily. Only worth it if the alternative is the gate. Recorded access options include LoungeKey and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
