What is the worst lounge you have ever had the misfortune to use - and why?
Now, although the behaviour of fellow guests would certainly influence our choices, let's keep this to the actual lounge offerings/decor, etc. Minimal tales of 'dragons' would probably be appreciated by the Moderators, too!
Which dry lounges make you feel like you've got the DTs? Which make you long for the generosity of BA's domestic catering :p? Which leave your skin crawling?

Answers below, please :)



London City, none and no offer of refreshment voucher, newspapers!

Precisely the reason I only ever fly into LCY and never out of it. Why pay CE prices if you don't get a lounge and the aircraft is seated 2X2 in both CE and ET?

Croix du Sud at TLS. Popularly know as Crud du Sud.

Not a bad lounge once you are in it but the award for hardest to find lounge in a small airport goes to:

FCO now also has the refreshed Galleries style, so is slightly better than the old Executive Club lounge style.

I had to show my passport there to get a wifi code:confused:

There is no BA lounge there at Salzburg - when I went through there in July we were given vouchers

There used to be a law in italy that you had to provide ID to have internet access anywhere, but I'm pretty sure that's been repealed.

This was Dec 2010

I presume you are refering to the business lounge where the drinks offerings are surprisingly poor, rather then the incredibly good first lounge.

I will add a second vote for the BA lounge at GLA. My recollection is of a small bare room with hard furniture and a shelf of cheap drinks. The vodka bottle had been taken off the shelf and was standing in the centre of a kitchen-like table being rapidly consumed by three local women sitting around it. This was at 8am.

Thai lounge at KTM. The food offering looked picked over and I chose a packet of (sealed) biscuits and retired to a musty looking and smelling chair and then reflected on the wisdom of my food choice as a rat emerged from one side of the lounge paused to nod a hello to me before carrying on out of the door.....

While it has been a number of years = Cairo ??

The QF domestic lounge at PER is actually a great lounge until it overflows with fly-in/fly-out workers and no seats are available. Or on Friday evenings before the red-eye flights to MEL/SYD/BNE.

Happy wandering and may your lounges have edible snacks.

I think the one in DPS is pretty dreadful it hasnt changed in 24 yrs.

the smallest was in Broome Australia it was 4 chairs and a tiny fridge- but it was air conditioned.( Qantas)

The Premier Lounge in DPS up the stairs? Didn't think it was that bad, really empty and fresh food replenished often, comfy chairs, terrace....only thing was you had to pay for wifi

Yeah, the Marco Polo lounge at VCE, where you have to pay for wifi internet access.
