The lounge, called Wingtips, is located by Gate E31 and is operated by ground handling company Airport Terminal Services. Airport officials have said that it fills a longstanding void in the terminal; American Airlines operates a similar facility, the Admirals Club, in Terminal 1.
The new club has been designed to provide passengers with a quiet place to work, socialise, eat and drink. Travellers can use the Wingtips facility by paying US$38 for a single visit; alternatively, full memberships are available. Three different subscription levels are offered, which range from US$75 to US$500 a year, and there are corporate membership terms, too.
The company also operates a Wingtips lounge at New York's Kennedy International airport and manages another facility in Detroit for Lufthansa.
