Lounge Access - what lounge?
I'm looking at GVA lounges as used by AY on the Finnair website and there is the DNATA Skyview lounge listed as the only lounge available.

My question is: Can I use any of the One World lounges (I'm OW sapphire and travelling in J) I wish as e.g. the BA Galleries lounge at GVA surely must be miles better than the generic Dnata lounge?

I'm quite sure we entered the BA lounge on the last AY flight flying J...

You may use BA lounge.

PS: perhaps you could re-use an existing active thread within the same topic next time, yes?

Having visited the BA lounge at GVA a couple of times (when Dnata lounge was under renovation), I must say these two lounges don't differ that much from each other. The food offerings were very basic at the BA lounge. OTOH, they do serve champagne - but you have to ask for it.

Thanks LoungeEnthusiast for the reply...

I used the GVA BA lounge earlier, and thought it was pretty decent for being an outstation lounge. We had an early morning visit and the food offering was pretty good tbh. Compared to the One World lounge at ZRH it's miles better and also compared to the AF lounge.

At GVA the *A lounge so far wins, hands down...
