GYDTerminal 1Airside Level 4, near Gate N1Worth it

Absheron Lounge

The default T1 airside room: 24/7, Level 4 by Gate N1, alcohol on Priority Pass. Reviews sit around 3.1 and the stay is only 2 hours — still the best of the five PP options.

How to get in

Priority PassPriority Pass (max 2 hours; children under 2 free; digital card)
Business class ticketAirline business class as sold (confirm on the J2 / foreign-carrier boarding pass)

The honest take

Absheron is the Priority Pass default once you have cleared T1 passport control. It sits on Level 4 by Gate N1, is open 24/7, and lists complimentary alcohol. The 2-hour cap is the same as the other GYD rooms. Sit Premium Bank instead if you want the published sleep pods at Gates 14–15.
