Hello Flyertalk, long time no login! I just noticed that GDN lounge isn't listed, so here we go.
Gdansk, Poland - GDN
Name of the lounge: Executive Lounge
Location:
I lost myself trying to find it and my friends struggled too. Around gate 14 I finally noticed a sign towards the Executive Lounge, and the lounge is located next to the Toys Store. See pictures.
Opening Hours: 05:00 to 21:00.
Entry requirements:
- Flying Blue Gold and above (unsure for Skyteam Elite Plus - should be the usual Skyteam requirements)
- NOT compatible with SAS flights - currently no partnership
- every lounge pass works - Dragonpass, etc
- or pay for it: 150 zloty / ~35€
Important edit: you can't enter the lounge more than 3 hours before your flight, unless you pay your own entrance. A friend on Star Alliance status had to leave the lounge when the staff realized he arrived 5 hours before the flight.
Food offer: A few selection of cold food and some dry snacks. Very minimal, however still decent.
Drinks offer: softs, coffee machine, many beers, and even strong booze to order at the bar (for free).

Gate 14, finally a sign! However we aren't there yet.
If you see the Gate 14 behind the sign, then you are looking in the wrong direction. Turn back.
After the Toys store, the lounge.
We're almost there!
You must go to Checkin. The toilets are after the Checkin.
60ish seats. No chairs, only comfy leather spots.
Bar (and a few dry sandwiches & cakes). Spirits are free, just ask the staff.
The coffee machines are at the left of the bar.
Next to the coffee machine, there are 2 fridges full of beers and 1 fridge full of softs. 2 additional fridges have food and water. The food offer looks disappointing but at least it's good!
