Skyteam Lounge

At a glance
One of six lounges in International Terminal, and the lowest-rated of them. An alliance lounge with coffee made by a person rather than a button, Wi-Fi and power you can rely on, and proper tarmac views — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 100 and pours beer and wine. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. It was last refreshed in 2025. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Priority Pass and SkyTeam Elite Plus Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
