Guide by Lounge Frog
Details checked
At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal D, ranking 2nd among them. An airline lounge with a proper place to work and a bar worth the visit — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 90 and runs a full bar. Hours are 6 AM – 9 PM daily. It opened in 2023. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Crown Lounge, Priority Pass (3-hour limit; may be refused 12:30-18:45 when full), and SkyTeam Elite Plus Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
