Quiet Zones
Yes
Six separate zones give the lounge distinct areas, including quieter corners away from the bar and buffet
The Good
- Large 4,400 square foot space with six distinct zones and seating for around 100, so it holds up well during busy waves
- Third-floor location above the concourse keeps it quieter and more removed from gate noise
- Open to anyone via a day pass, not just members, which is rare for a lounge this size at a leisure airport
- Genuinely comfortable seating with plenty of power for a mid-size airport lounge
The Bad
- No showers, so it is not ideal for long connections or freshening up
- The morning bank can fill the space, and capacity limits may apply during peak leisure periods
- Food is solid shared-lounge fare rather than a standout culinary experience
Pro Tips
- The six-zone layout means you can find a quiet corner away from the buffet and bar. Walk past the main entrance seating to the far zones for calm.
- Access is permitted up to 3 hours before your scheduled departure, so do not arrive too early or you may be turned away at the desk.
- Only departing passengers are allowed due to South Carolina law, so you cannot use it on arrival or to meet someone.
- Buy your day pass online in advance during peak leisure season. Walk-up entry is subject to capacity and can be capped.
