At a glance

One of six lounges in South Terminal, ranking 4th among them. An independent lounge with room to get work done in peace, food worth planning a meal around, and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 120, runs a full bar, and has one shower suite to freshen up in. Hours are 6 AM – 7 PM daily. It opened in 2019. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include DragonPass (pre-booking only), LoungeKey, and No1 Lounges (now operated and sold by No1 Lounges) and 1 more program. Entry conditions and availability apply.
