Most important tips

Know before you go

Confirm the current outlet list

The official site has facilities, restaurants and shops sections.

No lounge name or outlet hours are assumed here.

Ground

Take the arrivals-hall taxi counter

Airport-route references describe a taxi counter in the arrivals hall.

Confirm the live meter/surcharge and route.
