At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 2nd among them. An independent 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 150, 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.
