At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 1, and the lowest-rated of them. A modern compact lounge with food worth planning a meal around and Wi-Fi and power you can rely on — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 70 and runs a full bar. Hours are 12 AM – 11:59 PM daily. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include LoungeKey and Priority Pass — Two-hour stay limit. Entry conditions and availability apply.
