Overall, from 15 metrics

🚪 Gate D67🍸 Craft cocktail bar🚿 2 shower suites🪑 Seats 115

One of seven lounges in International Terminal, ranking 4th among them. A premium 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 115, mixes proper cocktails, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 9 AM – 12 AM daily. It opened in 2024. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Plaza Premium gets you in — Paid entry.
