I can't believe no-one has mentioned RAK. When I was there in March, it was overcrowded, the food selection consisted of a plate of stale sandwiches with inedible fillings which nonetheless still disappeared within two minutes because it was probably an hour or more since it was last replenished (they must make them once a week or something), the wi-fi didn't work, the drink selection consisted of a bottle of pretty cheap, unquestionably foul wine and the lounge staff amounted to one bloke who - poor soul - basically just ran himself ragged trying to address the many problems he was faced with.
I would definitely have been better off in the terminal but, well, I'd hate to have deprived myself of the experience :D |

The contract lounge at AGP is pretty uninspiring. I'm also not much of a fan of the joint AA/BA lounge at my most frequented outstation, DEN. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with it. It's clean, comfortable and a nice place to relax, but there's no view, no decent snacks and I really hate having to get drinks from the bar. I only use the lounge if I can't get a table at the Denver Chophouse downstairs.
I haven't been to MXP for a while but the Alitalia lounge there was scruffier than most student common rooms and you had to ask a grumpy woman at a counter every time you wanted a drink. |

1) The former Alitalia Giotto lounge at FCO. It is not that it was the worst in itself, although it was pretty bad (dungeon-style underground with no natural light, limited selection of drinks, very limited food, insufficient space....) but rather the fact that it was Alitalia's lounge for all its long-haul destinations from FCO and should therefore have been AZ's flagship lounge.
I remember trying the draught beer dispenser, flipped the handle and all that came out was air and a bunch of flies. Fortunately they also had bottled beer. 2) LCY: KL used to have a "lounge" of sorts at LCY, i.e. a plain, small room near the entrance to the building with a few chairs and a telephone for you to order a drink that would have been brought from the bar. The room had a strong institutional/detention centre feel to it. |
Currently sat in IST BA lounge. Lovely view of the back of an adjacent building, inedible food, and tired furniture. The worst International lounge I have used.

I suggest a google image search for "turkish airlines lounge". Not sure if it'll make you feel better though...

My own lounge is pretty dire at the moment . Fat snoring Labrador with excessive wind problems.

What's the WORST lounge you've been in - and why?
My vote goes for Admirals Club T3 ORD.
Coors Light was the only beers on offer and it always pees me off that you have to tip the bartender. |

Given it's Coors Light, I suppose that is not such a bad thing. |
Muscat was fairly dire on my last trip. Dirty, nothing cleared away, staff who resented having to work for a living and rather claustrophobic...

Temporary Admirals club by the American Eagle concourse in O'hare - no bathroom!
