At a glance
One of three lounges in Terminal 1, and the best-rated of them. A regional 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 — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 120, pours beer and wine, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 12 AM – 11:59 PM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include LoungeKey and Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
