Thanks very much to both posters for this information. I now recall the use of the Piedemont Lounge.

But hang on -- on the TRN lounge page on your link, when I insert Gold Card holder and Economy in the form underneath the lounge description, it says
Nous vous accueillons dans les 530 salons Air France et SkyTeam lorsque vous voyagez sur un vol international AIR FRANCE, KLM ou SkyTeam. (my bolding)

Now, either this is a recent change or it is wrong (or I have been dreaming). Surely Gold card holders are admitted into lounges, with guests even, when on a domestic flight in economy?

Also, thanks Goldarak for the helpful information regarding ORY. I wasn't aware that MPL was la Navette and thus Hall 2. I see a fair number of aircraft with those beautiful orange letters HOP on them at MPL. But then, my latest flight MPLCDG was operated by HOP, so who knows ...

no this is not new for non-FB Skyteam FFP Elite+ members, although the correct wording for domestic flights is “when connecting to/from an international flight”. For FB Elite+ members, you have indeed lounge access when flying AF (pure) domestic.
And now you have also a lounge in MPL.

Can anyone give me an update on the lounge at MAN T3? Is it still the delightful 1903? I need something to cheer me up before getting the early FlyBe to CDG!
Edit: And the answer is....Yes, at least on Feb 26th. Nice scrambled eggs!

The lounge is still available to skyteam pax. Looks like the agreement is ongoing which is fantastic news. What a joy this lounge is. The dragon has just rushed off to the kitchen to make me a bespoke ham salad sandwich.

Great news indeed. They are the nicest dragons that I have ever met!

Absolutely. This might be a small lounge but it beats hands down every other contract lounge I've been to and even many airline run ones.

I should book a trip back to the parents to try this lounge out, lounge being the primary reason for the visit ;)

Beirut Rafic Hariri (BEY) - MEA Cedar lounge
 
Name of the lounge : Beirut – MEA Cedar Lounge

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4785/...8559ae37_z.jpg

A very nice lounge, with a decent offering. Plenty of daylight with nice views on the apron and hills south of Beirut. The only downside of this lounge is the not-so-pleasant staff (not smiling at all, a bit rude, seem bored) and the noise level when the lounge is filling up.

Location : upstairs just after immigration. This lounge is before the second security check point.
Opening Hours : unknown
Entry requirements : usual Skyteam requirements

Food offer. Good selection of cold items (salads, sandwiches, cheese, cold cuts, oriental pastries, fruits) and a few (limited) warm options like pasta
Drinks offer : soft drinks, fruit juices, water, cofee, tea and a nice selection of liquors, wine and…Champagne (this is so rare in a non-AF lounge outside France that it worths to be mentioned. And it’s a decent brand that is served : Piper Heidsieck). There are several attended bars for alcoholic drinks.

The airline lounge via hall A at BOD has more to offer than the AF lounge but instead of comfort i miss some class here.

I looked at NCE website and it seems they have renamed their lounges. In T2 the Cap Ferrat lounge (Schengen) became Infinity lounge and the Cap d'Antibes lounge (non-Schengen) became Levity lounge. I have updated the wiki.

Yeah,.. i've learnt to look for the Salon. Haven't been at NCE for about two years. This lounge is one of my favorites now.

ZRH/Dnata Aspire lounge is pretty good imo: catering, personnel, and location. In some aspects better than KL/25 as KL doesn't have the cheese cooled.
One cheese-country tops the other:D
