Went to Goldair and Aegean lounges yesterday.

Goldair food is very very limited now - you have to ask an attendant for any food or drinks.

Aegean is miles better than Goldair right now, I actually prefer the current choice to pre COVID choice. Apart for coffee it is all self serve, there are wipes available.

Skyserv and LH are still closed.

Agreed, I was really impressed with the Aegean lounge, especially after being starved on the plane!

I will have the opportunity to visit both the Aegean and the Goldair lounges in about a couple of weeks time.

It's a typo! The re-opening was just announced yesterday and, as with a few other LH lounges outside Germany, it is expected/announced to open on Monday, July 20th (some lounges in Germany open in the 22nd).

Skyserv and Aegean in the non-Schengen Hall A are now opened.

Unfortunately due to a flight change my original A3 ticket got reissued on a codeshare RO-operated flight which means no lounge for me as Goldair (being the designated TAROM lounge) is still closed. And none of the lounge dragons at the 2 other lounges wanted to make an exception despite holding both *A and SkyTeam status

Flying out of Athens and have access to A3, LH, and the Goldair lounges out of the schengen zone. Any recommendations on which to choose? Only really have time to visit 1, as I am leaving early in the morning.

Ola, a bit off topic but can anyone confirm that Thessaloniki A3 - Intra Schengen is still closed? I see there is also Manolis Andronikos Lounge, but is it also opened for A3 biz ticket holders? bless

EDIT: answer: all closed

Am I right in assuming, that boarding to a Schengen A3 flight in ATH is still done out of the A3-lounge? That would mean if I wanted to check out both LH and A3 Lounges, it would be best done in that order, right? :-)

No, this was never the case in ATH - only in SKG. In ATH you'll have to walk to your gate, and I believe that in both lounges they no longer do announcements for A3 flights (so keep an eye on the time).
jonasfischer and giorginho like this.

Indeed, no announcements in either of the A3 lounges at ATH last week.
