Plus, they aren’t even that expensive considering the facilities made available to you in such cosy, relaxing environments.

These pay-per-use lounges are available in the transit areas of Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The only pay-per-use lounge located in the public area of Terminal 3 is known as The Haven, located at level 1.

Similar to the lounges in the respective transit areas, visitors to The Haven can freshen up, shower and nap! Moreover, visitors of The Haven get to enjoy a complimentary selection of drinks, snacks and even a light meal on top of access to a whole host of entertainment options and free Wi-Fi.
