At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal A, and the best-rated of them. A first class lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 80, mixes proper cocktails, and has four shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 5:30 AM – 10 PM daily. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. No network or membership access is recorded. Check the operator's current entry requirements.
