Details checked
At a glance
One of two lounges in Terminal 1, and the lowest-rated of them. A family lounge with enough quiet for a read or a nap, coffee made by a person rather than a button, and staff who look after you — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 100 and pours beer and wine. Hours are 12 AM – 11:59 PM daily. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
