Everything else is top notch in the new lounge, quality of food excellent, just wish they had more space. We had to wait for a seat to free up, and people had to camp on the floor or window sill.
Thanks for the review. I am sitting in the Polonez lounge now, but am getting ready to go check out the new non-Schengen lounge. The new lounge was recommended to me by both the check-in person, and the receptionist at Polonez. I suppose with all the non-Schengen passengers being directed there now, maybe it isn't a surprise it is so full.
This is my first time in Polonez in the morning (I am usually here in the afternoon going to/from ORD), and I must say in the middle of the week, it is pleasantly quiet. Almost like a library.
I also spent the night for the first time in the Courtyard across the street, which I found quite acceptable, and at a price of 325zł, not offensive to my normal sense of budget. It is difficult to find a more convenient airport hotel.
