When you travel through Dublin International Airport in Dublin, Ireland, you’ll find The Liffey Lounge in Terminal 2 on the Airside, making it a convenient airport lounge option once you’ve cleared the main departure formalities. After passport control, continue forward through passenger screening and walk through The Loop retail zone. From there, take either the escalator or the lift down to the Airline Lounge Level. Once you reach that level, turn right and follow the directional signage to The Liffey Lounge. This location is accessible only before US Preclearance, so if your travel plans include completing US Preclearance, be sure to visit the lounge beforehand, as it is not available after you pass through that area.Book Now
