By the way, the AMS Schengen Lounge is only open from 6:00 to 12:00 (noon). Only 6 hours, what a joke. The signage tells you to go to the non-Schengen lounge instead.

(Also it'd be nice if Flyertalk stops trying to "fix" my typing and create an even bigger mess. That feature on mobile is a pain.)

At least I'm glad the NCE T2 lounge is fully open, and with a nice service to replace the open buffet. Very nice staff!

I agree the opening hours are a shame given that they are offering now also a lot of flights in the afternoon. As an alternative, for those with PP or Dinersclub, the Aspire Lounge next to the AMS Schengen Lounge is open in the afternoon.

Potentially stupid question: If one of the lounge reviews mentions 'Skyteam standard' under access rules, does that always mean no access to a contract lounge as ST E+ when on an AF eco ticket? (Specifically, I am looking at the reviews of WAW.)

Not sure I understand the question. Skyteam ST E+ standard would clearly mean access to the lounge for such ticket.

Thanks, just got access as you predicted. BTW, the Fantazja lounge is closed--when booked on AF, you may use the Preludium lounge instead.

As for my stupid question: I may have asked a similar question before. But I always get confused because the ST carrier I use most (at least pre-covid) is DL. And DL doesn't pay for contract lounges.

Certainly not a stupid question. Indeed, DL has a very bad specific rule.

Does anyone have information on the situation at LAX? I know J pax were now using the QF lounge but surely that’s closed at the moment as they’re not operating international flights. Is the KE lounge open?

To answer my own question, neither are open. I took the bus to T2 where I was allowed to enter the SkyClub. Bus from T2 to TBIT was easy enough, took 10 min.

I would take this with a grain of salt until someone actually reports visiting them!

Live from Orly Domestic Lounge

have a nice day!

I think lounges in 2F are still closed in the evening, right?

As a substitute, does anyone know if the Ladurée restaurant landside is open? Just went on their website where it says that they are closed for renovation until April 16th. But this being France this is of course vague and could mean anything... i) works were due to finish on April 2020, and have then or a little later because of COVD, and the restaurant is open now ii) April 2021

Hence. anybody seen it operating?
