Salon Ifach VIP Lounge
Alicante airport is the fifth busiest airport in Spain, and at times, it can get very busy. As travelling is becoming more challenging with increased security and luggage checks, escaping the crowds and waiting in the comfort of a VIP lounge is becoming more popular. For some, it is classed as a necessity to reduce stress levels before a long flight.
Alicante has one VIP lounge. It is called 'Sala Ifach', or Ifach Lounge in English. This lounge is accessible after you have cleared security, and it is located on the third floor of the NAT Terminal, between boarding gates B and C. Children are welcome, as are animals, and the lounge has been carefully laid out to make it accessible for wheelchair passengers.
