At a glance

One of three lounges in International Terminal, and the best-rated of them. An independent lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and proper tarmac views — though the Wi-Fi and power can't be relied on and anyone with a day pass can get in. It runs a full bar. Hours are 12 AM – 11:59 PM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Plaza Premium (Paid entry or Plaza Premium membership) and Priority Pass (2-hour maximum stay; international flights only). Entry conditions and availability apply.
