Closed last Monday (noon-1pm, Schengen) and Thursday (5pm, non-Schengen). Not that you would have needed it though as there were no queues whatsoever... That said, might be different in the morning rush hour or so!

Yes, no problem. People were removing their masks while sitting and putting them on again to walk around.

Will be going thru ATH 3 times in the next week. I am *G but the first two connections (6-9pm, 7-9am) I will be connecting on OA domestic so only PP lounges (Goldair and Skyserv). Any info on these? food? On the third, I'll be flying out on LH to FRA so I'll be able to access A3 as well, but it will be around 5-6am. Any additional info would be appreciated

Bought a ticket from Aegean directly with two segments, CAI-ATH in A3 and ATH-JTR in OA. I’m *G and I was able to use A3 business lounge with no problem. They did ask for my *G card/mobile card to confirm the name. And they did have signs stating “now in partnership with Olympic air”, or something to that extent, next to all the star alliance airlines.

I'm going ATH-JTR as well on OA. I guess I'll see if they let me in but am not expecting anything How was the lounge in terms of food?
I believe there's also an LH lounge. If I time, I'll probably check out all the lounges, including the PP (Goldair, Skyserv)

My flight departed from Hall B and yes, all three lounges were back to back. I peaked inside the PP lounge and I didn’t see much food. So I just went straight to Aegean. Didn’t even try Lufthansa, but please let us know if you go.

Were you in business class?

The site says:
When travelling on Olympic Air, only Miles and Bonus Gold members and Business Class passengers have access to the Lounges.

Flying cheapest economy fare (Saver, L class). CAI-ATH-JTR on A3 and OA, with *G through UA. I was ready to be told I couldn’t enter and I would have just gone to the PP lounge. I did buy the two flights as a single PNR and directly from Aegean’s website.

Sitting in the Aegean Lounge now.

LH was closed
Skyserv was the worst in terms of food. Basically just a few baked goods.
Goldair, had some sandwiches and tiny mousse-type desserts and fruit cups.
Aegean was the best. Lots of food nothing hot. Salads, cold pasta salad, variety of desserts.

My departing flight was a one way OA flight bought on their site. UA FF put in to my reservation. Didn't get fast lane but got me into the lounge. Didn't have to show my card

No Aegean lounge in SKG yet, they will open it sometime in the summer.

LH was open in the morning. They do NOT accept OA passengers. However their sign does have Aegean. My last flight was on LH so I was able to get in. They had various warm baked goods and drinks that they served to you on a tray. Then they had a self-serve selection with fruit cups, greek yogurt, and more baked goods. A better selection than Goldair and Skyserv.
