At a glance
One of three lounges in Main Terminal, tied for best-rated. A premium lounge with a proper place to work and proper tarmac views — though it gets loud and the Wi-Fi and power can't be relied on. It seats around 60 and runs a full bar. It opened in 2024. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Aspire Lounges (Upgrade supplement on a direct Aspire booking; not bookable as a standalone cash product), oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access (When flying British Airways (Club Europe/Club World, BA Silver/Gold)), and SkyTeam Elite Plus Lounge Access (KLM/Air France business class passengers; check eligibility with the airline). Entry conditions and availability apply.
