At a glance
One of two lounges in Main Terminal, and the best-rated of them. A refurbished SAA domestic lounge with a door that keeps the crowds out. Hours vary by day (Mon–Fri 5:30 AM – 7 PM; Sat 5:30 AM – 6:15 PM; Sun 7:30 AM – 8 PM), so check before a very early or late flight. It was last refreshed in 2024. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access — Star Alliance Gold members may bring 1 guest when both are travelling on a Star Alliance carrier.. Entry conditions and availability apply.
