Angelo D'Arrigo VIP Lounge
★1.9(440 reviews)CTA · Terminal A · airside
Catania's main airside lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass or a walk-in day pass.
The Angelo D'Arrigo VIP Lounge is the main lounge at Catania Fontanarossa, sitting airside in Terminal A after passport control and security, near Boarding Gates 5 and 6. Recently renovated and significantly expanded, it's a modern, minimalist space with large windows and runway views. It is the most flexible way into a lounge at Catania: DragonPass holders are welcome, it's listed across the wider contract-lounge networks including Priority Pass, and it sells a walk-in day pass (roughly €45 for a stay of up to four hours) so you don't need airline status to get in. Inside you'll find a hot and cold buffet, a bar serving wine, beer and spirits alongside soft drinks, fast Wi-Fi, power at the seats and flight-information screens. With air conditioning, business facilities and a generally low noise level, it works equally well for relaxing or getting a little work done before a flight. It runs from early morning until late evening, roughly 05:00 to 23:00.
Crowding · busier in the summer peak
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at the seats and a business area with printing. Fine for email and light work, and the generally low noise level helps if you need to focus.
