If a flight is delayed by more than 30 minutes and you wish to remain in the Lounge, you will be required to pay an additional Entry Price. If there is insufficient capacity for us to offer this option, we will have the authority to request that you leave the Lounge. To ensure that we provide the highest levels of service, we reserve the right to refuse entry to any person, at any time, for any reason deemed appropriate by us, including (but not exclusively): capacity limitations, intoxication, unacceptable verbal or physical actions towards any staff member, or any conduct that we determine may offend or disturb other guests.
