At a glance
One of two lounges in Terminal 1, and the best-rated of 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 200, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
