Crowding · moderate at peak
A practical spot for email and light tasks during a short layover, with Wi-Fi and general seating. It's cosy rather than a dedicated work lounge, but fine for catching up before boarding.
A light buffet and snacks sit alongside a bar serving soft and alcoholic drinks, plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. The offering suits a short layover or a quick refuel close to the boarding gate rather than a full meal.
