This is incorrect. In Larnaca, the Sunjet Apollo lounge is available to customers travelling on BA, and the Swissport Executive Lounge is available to customers travelling on QR and RJ.

There is no lounge access for oneworld status customers travelling on either Air Berlin or S7 Airlines when departing LCA. See: http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access

Hang on, this is all wrong.

The Sunjet Apollo Lounge referred to above was in the old terminal, which closed 5 years ago! It was that dismal smoky room full of smelly leather armchairs.

The new terminal (open since 2009) has two lounges:
- Swissport Executive Lounge (3rd party lounge, used by BA, RJ etc)
- Aegean Business Lounge (used by A3 and Star Alliance)

There is no OneWorld Lounge at LCA. Apart from the A3 Lounge, there is only the Swissport Lounge, which individual airlines contract with. I don't recall seeing AB on the list of airlines.

You can however get into the Swissport Lounge with Priority Pass.
