Goodness, that's one of the biggest transformations I've ever seen in a lounge refurb! (Hopefully LGW will be soon to follow). In one fell swoop BOD has removed itself from being one of the worst lounges around to one of the better ones. Just look at all those power sockets, and the wide range of seating options.
BOD may have turned itself around.
It's a nice little airport, easily accessible by public bus from Bordeaux if one is that way inclined.

I've been to all the BA lounges in Europe in last few months, so the list of locations without lounges - in the Wiki on Flyertalk's Main Site - is now up to date, with one exception, TIA - Tirana. I was allowed admission but the sequence of telephone calls made me suspect this wasn't the norm. So any recent update there would be good; plus any news for KRK - Kraków and OPO - Porto, which I hope will (re)gain lounge access before too long.
For the benefit of those on mobiles, and also to take a snapshot, this is the list of lounge less locations in Europe:
LCY, BGO, BIQ, CFU, CHQ, CMF, FDH, GNB, GRX, INN, JTR, JMK, KEF, KGS, KLX, MAH, OVD, PMO (but airport is being refitted), SVQ, UIP
No lounge, but vouchers provided
RTM
No lounge but other options available (typically Priority Pass)
ACE, CAG, CTA, FNC, HER (lounge opening times restricted), HUY, KRK, OLB (BA charter CE can use lounge however), OPO, SPU, RHO. BJV, BRI (€25 walk up fee), DLM, IBZ (very arguable), PFO. SVG (NOK 300 walk-in fee option). SVQ, see post 359.
To Be Confirmed
TIA
So that's about 40 locations out of approx 200 (since only a few longhaul locations are without lounges).

Lisbon has been updated. The new Lounge ANA was nicely reviewed by the Filipino Traveler earlier this year. See https://thefilipinotravelersblog.blo...rport-lis.html

Air Berlin
Finnair
They cannot use their BAEC status to gain access to the lounge when they fly with BA, nor can you gain access if you are travelling BA Club Europe
Travelling with BA then you can access the lounge with one of the following

LoungeKey
Lounge Club
Korzysci&Przywileje card by Citi Handlowy Bank

As of today there is a new lounge at KRK airport - very nice one overlooking the apron and the runway. More or less 3 times bigger than the old one.
The same food as in the old lounge (fairly good for an outstation).
Still no BA logo at the entrance.
BTW... you can see this is a brand new - various airport employee groups get a tour, I presume to familiarize themselves with the lounge and its location

This will be the new non Schengen lounge
there is still no agreement for BA to use either the Schengen or the non Schengen lounge
Access will be allowed with the lost of cards I provided, and also if you are flying AB or AY

From today, ( Thursday), we’ll be able to offer Halal meals on request in Concorde and T5 First. There will be a choice of two hot meals.
This is great news and brings in line the similar proposition we have for our customers wishing to request Kosher Food.

There is a lounge in Shannon for Aer Lingus flights, including BA codeshares plus BA Silver cardholders and above; not easily accessible for LCY services unless there is an irrop. The Forum Dashboard will help on ORK/SNN/NOC lounges, and there is an Aer Lingus forum too.
