Assuming it's the lounge that LH uses, not really. However, it does have a nice espresso machine and awesome pain au chocolate in the morning

Hi
I just read the one BA uses has just been refurbished, it wouldn't be the same?

If you are lucky and able to get a seat.. I have literally been standing for 1 hour in there without any seats being available. As for comfort, i'd rather hang out at a Cafe in Nice than in the airport Lounge (The *G one..), not "worth a detour" as Michelin would put it..

Any updated experiences on the Schengen *A lounge?

2 pax from our party of 5 (3 adults, two kids) will be on a Brussels Air in "Business" class, can we all get in?

TIA!

Hi! There are four lounges in NCE (2 per terminal, one schengen and one non-schengen each). They are all pretty much alike, decent, but not very good either.
I'd say the two "best" things are the champagne on request (it's usually written, but i've never seen the sign in the T1 schengen lounge *A uses - in any case, you only have to ask), and the croissants / pains au chocolat in the morning.

I'd say your ability to get in mainly depends on *A rules - I don't think you can guest in the lounge if you fly C without status. That said, you can always try
