If requested, the Customer must sign the card reader screen. The electronic record of the Customer’s Means of Access will be considered valid evidence of the Customer accessing the Lounge. A valid Means of Access entitles Customers to access the Lounge however seating in the Lounge is unreserved and cannot be guaranteed.

Entry to a Lounge outside of the date and time shown on the Means of Access shall be at the discretion of the Lounge but in no event after three hours of the time shown on the Means of Access.
