Well..have you ever flown Ryanair out of ATH? Not a great experience. I'd say that flying A3, even with economy service, is miles ahead of Ryanair. I've flown them a few times from ATH and it doesn't really compare in terms of (non) civilized experience.

I share your view but it will be interesting how they have adapted their offerings nowadays

Its not my favorite any more because of two reasons. Last year they increased the seating by just adding a bunch of additional seats, crowding the space quite a bit more than what it used to be. And the food is kind of..boring. Not bad, but over the last year they basically served one single dish every single day. Oh...and only a few seats at the windows have power plugs.

My favorite is the LH one for its food. Also very few power plugs (Only the seats at the back row have them), and also a little cramped/crowded at times. But the food makes up a lot..at least for me

Generally I think the only LH lounges that are currently open are at MUC and FRA. I noticed that also the Star-branded lounges are still closed (e.g. at AMS).

I thought it was already open. Or do you mean the non-Schengen lounge?

A quick check on Instagram shows that it's not the Aegean lounge.

Thanks. Good to know. Presumably for all the non-Star Schengen flights.

Well if you are flying e.g. LH Business and you have a Priority Pass, you can go to all 4 lounges in the schengen area, my favourite one is the Goldair, followed by Lufthansa, followed by Aegean, and the Skyserv one is by far the worst.

Why to visit the Skyserv lounge ? Just to keep company to the Skyexpress pax ? 🤣

Heading over to ATH next month so great to see that some lounges will be open by then. Hopefully one in HER will be open too.
