At a glance
One of three lounges in Terminal A-West, and the best-rated of them. A compact lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and coffee made by a person rather than a button. It seats around 150, mixes proper cocktails, and has one shower suite to freshen up in. Among the best lounges we track: worth a longer connection. Recorded access options include Centurion Lounge. Entry conditions and availability apply.
