Hannover's most flexible lounge — Priority Pass, SkyTeam and Star Alliance under one roof.

About this lounge

The Karl-Jatho Lounge in Hannover's Terminal A is the airport's most flexible lounge, accepting Priority Pass, SkyTeam and Star Alliance passengers under one roof — so it works whether you carry a contract-lounge membership or fly with a partner airline. The space has a sleek, contemporary feel with a distinctly German flair: clean lines, muted tones, ergonomic furniture and large windows that bring in natural light by day, with warm, recessed lighting for the evening. The noise level stays pleasantly low, and the spacious seating prevents crowding even at busier times, making it equally suited to relaxing or focused work. Refreshments include complimentary soft drinks, house wine and beer, alongside free Wi-Fi, flight information, newspapers and magazines. With its broad access and calm atmosphere, it's the default recommendation for most travellers leaving from Terminal A.

Food & drink

A refreshment offering in keeping with a mid-sized European airport lounge — complimentary soft drinks, house wine and beer, and light refreshments. It's a comfortable spot for a drink and a bite before boarding rather than a full meal.
