At a glance
One of three lounges in Terminal 2, and the lowest-rated of them. A compact lounge with a proper place to work, food worth planning a meal around, and proper tarmac views. It seats around 100 and runs a full bar. Hours are 5 AM – 7:45 PM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access and United Club. Entry conditions and availability apply.
