I would personally skip the Mazurek lounge in the non-Schengen side altogether and time your arrival at the gate to coincide with boarding.
Agreed. THe Mazurek lounge is pretty grim compared to Polonez. The only issue is that the immigration line when you leave Schengen can be unpredictable, but I've never had much of a wait.
I'm a LO fan in general. Their ground services are pretty chaotic, but once you're on board you're fine. I like the J seats, the 787 is a nice ride, and the chow has improved. They actually have the wines in the menu on board. When we had a late arrival from ORD and were making a connection at WAW the staff went out of their way to whisk us to our onward gate where boarding was almost completed, and our bags made it as well.
