No lounge for Y pax at LIS?
Searching *A lounge finder returns zero options. UA lounge finder as well.
Google search show Blue Lounge for domestic, ANA lounge ( not NH ) for
Schengen flights and Portway lounge for First/Business. Well, I am in
the back of the bus, so what's my option?

I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see any lounge options (esp for Y). I didn't even know there were options for J.

Will move this to the Spain/Portugal/Gibraltar forum where multiple threads addressing the ANA lounge exists.

The ANA lounge is not a *A lounge, but UA has an agreement with them, so *G Y pax get access. The only *A carrier that has no agreement with them is AC Rouge (or Rogue 
)
Check out the "adhering airlines" on the lounge website

And when you say "ANA lounge for Schengen flights", that's not quite right. The ANA Lounge is in the Schengen area of the terminal, but is accessible to all passengers except passengers connecting from non-Schengen to non-Schengen. So if you are originating in LIS, or connecting from or to a Schengen airport, you can reach the lounge and can enter with your *G card and departing BP on any *A airline (except AC).

Great, I am thoroughly confused. Originating in LIS going UA to EWR. So I need to go through Immigration to enter the Schengen zone and back out to enter the non Schengen zone?
And, as an aside, TAP does not have their own lounge at LIS?

And that is correct, TAP no longer has its own lounge at LIS.
