Was there about 5 days ago.. Food average (mini pizza's), Decor awful, like I would expect that furniture to be in rubbish, Location.. a pain to find with construction, Alcohol.. good beers..generally ok..
Having spent time two weeks earlier in the EK lounge in Munich, I can see why BA is getting it's arse kicked.. I would never 'pay' to have the benefit of that lounge. I would pay to use the EK lounge.

Agreed... I was travelling with a colleague last time who insisted on getting there v early... so I spent far too long in one of the chairs by the window. I still have one of those phantom itches when I think of it.

Was there yesterday - Exceptionally busy due to disruptions at LH. Staff were doing their best to keep the place tidy, but they were overwhelmed.
Location - Turn left after security and when you get to what seems to be the end of the terminal, keep nosing around until you find a way through, step over the raggedy rag on the floor, go up the uncleaned stairwell ... and emerge in the dim hallway that leads to the lounge.
Foodwise, it's no great shakes but it's better than AMS - some mini pizzas, sandwiches, etc. And considering the lack of restaurant options airside, I guess it is OK.
Furniture - Has clearly been picked up from a skip on the edge of the most underprivileged slum in Europe. Grimy. I can't quite believe that BA allowed it to get *this* bad. If they just put some unassembled flatpack furniture at one end of the lounge, I'm sure that some customers would assemble it for them rather than sitting in those filthy seats.

Somewhat surprisingly, DL seems to use the BA lounge too. We will see. i don't know how easy it is to go between the B and C piers at MUC T1 to use the PP Atlantic nonschengen lounge. The AF lounge is in the schengen area of the terminal.

The BA lounge in MUC isn't great, but still better than the Atlantic lounge.

The sofas were in terrible shape 2-3 years ago... Regarding food, there's a decent bakery airside right near BA's usual gate that is far better than the food you'll find in the lounge and reasonably priced. For me it's a last chance to get another pretzel before departing.

I'm not too worried about the food. If I wake up on time, my hotel will give me a very nice free breakfast. Then DL will start feeding me shortly after takeoff.
OTOH, the sofas really worry me. I'm not sure my shots are up to date.
