At a glance
One of eight lounges in Terminal 1, ranking 7th among them. An independent lounge with a proper place to work, a bar worth the visit, and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 120 and runs a full bar. Hours are 5:30 AM – 9 PM daily. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Plaza Premium and 1 more program. Entry conditions and availability apply.
