FAQs

How long can I stay in the lounge?

This varies by lounge. At the majority of lounges, it is 3 hours prior to flight departure. This information will be clearly displayed on the first step of the booking process as well as on each individual lounge page.

Your time in the lounge may also be limited by lounge opening and closing times. These times are again detailed on the individual lounge page.

If you would like to enter the lounge for more than 3 hours before your flight departure time, this would needs to be booked as an extended stay. 

In order to book for an extended stay, for example to book a 6 hours time slot, you would need to make 2 separate bookings via our website. The best way to do this is as follows:

Example: You are wanting to access the lounge from 8:00am-14:00pm

When making the first booking you will need to put down that the flight time is 14:00pm, this will then give you access from 11:00am (3 hour time slot)

The 2nd booking you make you will need to input the flight time as 11:00am, this will then gain you access from 08:00am (3 hour time slot)....which now in total has given you a full 6 hours of continuous stay.

Can I get into this airport lounge for free?

Access to the lounge can be obtained via various methods such as when travelling on certain airlines in Business Class, with a Priority Pass, American Express® or Dragonpass card, all of which allow access into the lounge with a swipe of the card at reception.

We do not charge a separate fee to customers that gain access via these methods, but that's not to say you will not be charged by your card supplier, as some give unlimited yearly access whilst others give a limited number of lounge visits per year.
