Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Lounge

Airlines Executive Lounge 11:30–20:30 only

Sole Priority Pass room opens mid-morning and closes 20:30 — no early-morning or late-night PP coverage.

Secondary Amex guidance flags afternoon capacity pressure (~14:00–17:00); treat walk-up access as uncertain at peak.

Find it

Between Gates 12 and 13 after security

Airside after security and passport control; access via lift or stairs between Gates 12 and 13.

Departures terminal product — not in Arrivals.

Expectations

Compact PP room — not a hub flagship

PP rating ~3.4 (1,000+ reviews research day). Useful seat and drinks; do not expect a large multi-room product.

Dress code applicable; pets not allowed.

Location

SE island — ~30 min to west-coast beaches

Official: along Adams-Barrow-Cummins Highway; south coast and city minutes away; west coast about half an hour.

24-hour airport operations per official general information.
