FCO Rome Star Alliance Lounge
Looking to use the Star Alliance Lounge at FCO which I understand is in Terminal 3. But my Lufthansa flight is out of Terminal 1. Is it possible to check in for my Lufthansa flight to MUC at Terminal 1, then walk to the Lounge in Terminal 3, then back to Terminal 1 for the departure?
Thank you, appreciate your help and information.

An update from yesterday.
My A3 boarding pass welcomed me to the Star Alliance Lounge, but...the other concourses are now blocked off from public access immediately after security. This means the Star Alliance Lounge is off limits until traffic picks up and non-E gates are actually needed.
On the bright side, the Plaza Premium Lounge opened September 10th and is a nice place to relax pre-departure (the BA Lounge next door and nearby Casa Alitalia remain closed) which is frustrating for frequent travellers like myself.

Is Plaza Premium Lounge open for *G guests? I doubt it right?
I read that the AviaPartner Prima Vista lounge is open though. Does that give access?
The *A webpage lounge finder does not give a result for FCO

We got in as *G traveling on a UA award, flying OS in Y to VIE. This is the lounge OS directed us to at check-in, and we saw no signage at any point indicating that it was possible to access the *A lounge for an E departure.

*G, FCO-MUC, 20 June. Arrived around 1015. Friendly, personable staff - everyone from the front desk, the bar, the busers, and the kitchen. Not too crowded. Great potential views of the tarmac, but between the dirt on the windows and the deterioration of the mesh designed to restrict sunlight, it was difficult to see anything. Even though it was 1015, the only food available was that for lunch/dinner. And no snacks, like crisps, available. Just had a cappuccino from the bar. Off to the PP lounge now.

Prima Vista must be almost unusable. I was at FCO this time last year. I was going to lounge hop as the *A lounge was crowded, but the line for Prima Vista was outside the door.

I was at FCO in the morning and Prima Vista wasn't crowded – no line at the door. However, the lounge itself was sufficient reason to leave quickly. I imagine that they are currently trying to figure out what to do with the *A lounge given that ITA will be joining Star soon enough.

a bit disappointing is a major understatement. Food selection is poor, no self serve drinks, it's dark, and there just didn't seem to be enough decent seating.
