4.6

Overall, from 15 metrics

🚪 Gate 50🍸 Full bar🚿 2 shower suites🪑 Seats 100

One of 12 lounges in Terminal 1 (International), ranking 5th among them. An independent lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 100, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 5 AM – 10 PM daily. It opened in 2019. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Priority Pass gets you in.
