Door fee vs a card
Paying at the door adds up. At this walk-in rate, 4 visits a year costs €160.

See which cards pay offAbout The Liffey Lounge
The Liffey Lounge is the only Dublin Airport lounge that takes Priority Pass. It is on Level 1 of the corridor that links Terminals 1 and 2, after security: about a 5-minute walk from T1 (turn left after security) and 3 minutes from T2 (through the shops, then the lift or stairs to Level 1). Priority Pass and DragonPass members, British Airways passengers and walk-ins all share it, and entry for each is subject to space, so it can turn people away at peak times. Bring a same-day boarding pass in the cardholder's name. Paying costs €40 at reception or from €37 booked online through the Dublin Airport website or app. Stays are limited to 2 hours. It is the simpler of Dublin's lounges: a cold buffet and light bites, a self-serve bar with beer, cider and wine (two alcoholic drinks per person), tea and coffee, work spaces, showers and runway views. For a hot buffet, the Phoenix Lounge in Terminal 1 takes DragonPass or €35 online. The Liffey is before US Preclearance; once you have cleared it, use the 51st & Green lounge in Terminal 2.
