TLL is in the Long band, so starter followed by main course.

The lack of lounge arrangement isn't surprising, it's particularly prevalent on new routes, to do with establishing the routes overall profitability. I would have thought lounge access at TLL would be cheap, compared to KRK (where it is relatively expensive). When - about a year ago - I asked BA to review the KRK lounge situation they said they were still watching the route's profitability and that the lounge issue remained pending. If TLL remains lounge free, then it joins KRK and OPO with lounge options not taken up by BA. In other locations they have made agreements (INV, VLC, for example). A number of other airports (such as KEF) are also loungeless, but there is typically a local reason for this, e.g. in KEF's case the sole lounge is seen as home advantage to BA's main competitor. Shoot not the messenger, I'm making the point to management from time to time, as are others such as scottishpoet.
