At a glance
One of three lounges in Main Terminal, and the lowest-rated of them. A small two-level lounge with food worth planning a meal around and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though the Wi-Fi and power can't be relied on and don't expect much from the staff. It seats around 75 and runs a full bar. Hours are 5 AM – 4:30 PM daily. It opened in 2012. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Plaza Premium and 1 more program. Entry conditions and availability apply.
