At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 2, ranking 3rd among them. An independent 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 80, runs a full bar, and has one shower suite to freshen up in. Hours are 5 AM – 10 PM daily. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Aspire Lounges, DragonPass, and LoungeKey and 1 more program. Entry conditions and availability apply.
