Velana's polished oneworld lounge — runway views, a quiet room and a kids' zone.

About this lounge

Koveli Lounge sits airside on the second floor of Terminal 1 at Velana International, reached by a dedicated staircase and elevator from the first floor reserved for lounge passengers. It's the most polished alliance lounge at MLE — a calm, minimalist space with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic runway views, soft ambient lighting and a neutral palette. The lounge is laid out in distinct zones: a quiet relaxation room for winding down, a family-friendly kids' zone, and plush seating pods for unwinding before a flight. Noise levels are generally low, which makes it as workable as it is restful. It serves oneworld premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders, so your ticket or tier is the way in.

A genuinely workable lounge thanks to the quiet relaxation room, seating pods, Wi-Fi and power — the low noise level helps if you need to focus before a flight. The kids' zone keeps families separate from the quieter areas.

Food & drink

A hot and cold buffet with a bar, served in a calm, minimalist setting. The spread suits a proper pre-flight meal rather than just a snack, with hot dishes, a cold selection and a range of drinks to round it out.
