Lounge & amenity notes

Lounge, food, and quiet-spot picks pulled from the markdown guide.

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Escape Lounge (T3) wins for food quality and Amex access—fresh local dishes and full bar
Delta Sky Club (T2) quieter with solid hot/cold options and views; good for Delta pax
United Club (T1 near C1) reliable snacks/drinks and power but basic; no showers anywhere
No Priority Pass lounge entry. Live PP product is Kafe Kalik ($28 dining credit, T4 near G6, 10:00–20:00). Escape Lounge is Amex Platinum / Delta Reserve / day pass — do not promise Priority Pass there
All three main lounges lack showers; plan accordingly for long hauls
Escape accessible from T3/T4; day passes available but capacity-limited and 3-hr pre-departure rule
