Iberia VIP Lounge Paris Orly
I'll be flying ORY - TXL - ORY.
I'm topbonus Gold.
Can we use the Iberia Lounge In ORY, although it's in ORY West and AB is flying from ORY South? The lounge is supposed to be airside and should be open to one world status clients. I mean ORY is ORY in the end, right?
Another question regarding TXL lounges. From my understanding we can use the BA lounge (as one world status clients) and the Air France lounge (As AB topbonus gold) and the exclusive waiting area of AB. Is there any issue with lounge hopping? Any recommendations on which lounge is better right now (BA vs. AF)?
Thank you!

there is really no difference between AF and BA lounge and no sense for lounge hopping. I still try to find out which one is better, but cannot decide. Every time I try the other one than last time. One might suggest that the cake in the BA lounge in the afternoon is a plus, whereas in the morning you might find the AF breakfast offering more tasty, although both are not lounges where you want to spend more time than necessary.
If you want to hop into the other lounge use the mobile boarding pass which cannot be stamped.

Now the IB lounge, as far as I remember is landside Orly Ouest. So in theory, it should be possible to use it. However, it's probably not very convenient, unless you are really very early, because you'll have to go landside to terminal Sud, go through security, go to gate - which takes quite while.

Both the AF and the BA lounge will stamp your boarding pass in an attempt to prevent 'lounge hopping'
Moreover, a boarding pass on a mobile phone cannot be stamped either.
TopBonus Golds (on AB operated flights) apparently can also access the BA and AF Lounge in TXL. They stamp. However, nothing prevents the pax to print out the pass twice.

On ORY I can confirm you that the Lounge is airside close to "Gate/Porte A" you will have to take the lift to go up.
The trip between the 2 terminals with the little train called OrlyVal takes 2 minutes and between the terminal the ride is free.
The OrlyVal stops at "Porte/Gate C" of each terminal. Allow 10 minutes to do the trip each way (walk+Orlyval).
If you take the latest flight to Berlin in the evening, controls are not an issue (less than 10 mn).
