2.4

Overall, from 14 metrics

🚪 Gate A1🍸 Beer & wine🚿 No showers🪑 Seats 60

One of nine lounges in International Terminal A, and the lowest-rated of them. An airline lounge lounge with a door that keeps the crowds out — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 60, pours beer and wine, and has no showers. Hours are 6 AM – 11:55 PM daily. Only worth it if the alternative is the gate. Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access gets you in.
