Yes, there is lounge access at the Skyserv lounge, and that is by the gates used by BA services from Athens.

Thanks for the reply - but using the Oneworld lounge lookup site doesn't mention BA travellers can use that lounge just Finnair and Iberia.

EDIT: In MMB it tells me that the Aristotle Onassis Lounge is available to use.

I was in the LED lounge recently. It was pretty rubbish, especially as a veggie. Cringe factor of the stay? Observing a child get their nappy changed on one of the tables.

For those of you who are interested:
- on the booze front, cheap red and white, and Baltika beer
- other beverages, water, pop, juice, water
- food, all the carbs! Some cheese slices, ham

Dublin Terminal 1 DAA Lounge

Some (much needed) 'redecorating' going on in the lounge and toilets. The large side is closed off, leaving a very crowded right-hand side. Lots of drilling. Perhaps worth minimising time here at the moment.

Refurbished lounge due to open at the end of May (though I suspect they will then do up the currently open right hand side, the side nearest the T1 gates). Passengers are able to use DAA in T2 if they wish, just a bit of a walk for 200 gate users.

I had the misfortune to visit the VRN (Verona) lounge last month. I thought the BOD (Bordeaux) lounge was comfortably the worst in the network, but VRN is giving it a run for its money, at least BOD has tarmac views.
VRN has better refreshments, but it is about as far from the gate as you can get (although thankfully it doesn't take too long as the airport isn't large), seating is limited and it got very hot during my visit.
My main complaint about the VRN lounge is that it doesn't have its own wifi, just the main airport WIFI, which requires you to provide personal data and join a mailing list to access. Very poor show!

Haven't they already done the right-hand side? I was there about 3 weeks ago, and the right-hand side (as you walk in from the stairs) was boarded off, so I went to the left-hand side. Did they board off half of it without doing any work?

Well, BOD doesn't have a lounge (for BA) anymore

corporate-wage-slave

The stairs at the top or the bottom? There is a half floor in between. The way I was seeing this from the desk perspective. As I see it the currently boarded up section is the area nearest T2, so the south east end. The area currently rather busy and with a somewhat rough and ready appearance is the end nearest the 200 gates, the north west end.

Ok, sounds like it's definitely changed from 3 weeks ago then!

For reference, here's a map of the main floor:



The black escalator sign to the left of the screening area is the lounge entrance (although it's actually stairs and a lift, not an escalator...). If I'd taken the lift, I'd have walked out of the lift and turned left and ended up in the bit in the direction of the "To Terminal 2" arrow. The other side was closed off by construction boards.

The seating area I sat in looked like this:



Is that the bit that's now closed off? If so, sounds like a disappointing job done on the other side then, based on your description!

corporate-wage-slave

Yes, it seems they have swapped over sides, since I used the side nearest to the 300 gates. I am not jumping to conclusions: when it's fully ready, any furniture is brought of storage and the lounge isn't packed then I can see it would be a good update. It's possible the closure is for something more boring like shifting the air conditioning units or some such.

Have tried searching, but am only on a phone so apologies if have missed a previous answer to this. Does anyone know what time the Luxembourg lounge closes? According to the OW website it's only open till 1845, but not sure if this is correct as there is a later BA departure (though aware it's a third party lounge so not necessarily open for a BA flight). I'm flying back on BA419 (LUX to LHR departing at 2120), and am with my parents who are rather more cautious and prefer to be at the airport 3 hours in advance. If the lounge will be closed I will try an encourage them to spend longer mooching around the city before heading to the airport, otherwise will opt for the quiet life and head over early to stop them fretting. Not fussed if the lounge isn't too great, would just rather have a quiet place to sit and have a cup of tea if we are at the airport for a long while.
Thanks,
Hodders

I have found OW website unreliable with this kind of information.

Prioritypass (and first page of this thread) says:
04:00 to last scheduled flight departure.

Hodders

Thank you jp_fin. Given the speed and punctuality we've seen of public transport here, my parents are seeming more willing to spend longer in the city (and blame me if it goes wrong), but I'll update on here to confirm whether it is open as we pass through.
Hodders

Update :
Having passed through this evening, the lounge was indeed open and, as post #22 suggested, the sign on the door gives the opening times as 0400 till after the last flight departs. For anyone passing through in the next few weeks, the signed route to reach the lounge (down 1 level from security, through the shop and then back up 1 level) is closed - the escalator and lift are blocked and while the signs still direct you this way for the lounge there's no clue whether this is temporary or permanent. The route at the moment (and the better route if the layout at security doesn't change) is to ignore the directions, stay at the security level and head to the corridor opposite the escalator down, then the lounge is on the right about a third of the way along the corridor.

For those that are interested I did manage to persuade my parents to spend a bit longer in the city, but the lounge was a lovely space to sit in with a view over the runway once at the airport. We rather over ate in the lounge, not expecting much from the CE catering, and are now rather full after a Duck and Waldorf salad on board. Champagne in the lounge was very pleasant (but I must admit that after a couple I've forgotten what it actually was). Overall my relatively infrequent flyer parents we very impressed with CE, and for me, I enjoyed it enough to think it was definitely worth the premium, though I rate the empty middle seat far more than the extra leg room (and as a lowly silver can't rely on TS to block the middle seat next to me) so your opinion may vary.

Do you need a picture of the TLL lounge? I have a few but I suspect someone else may have high quality ones. Or do you only have pictures for lounges BA isn't too tight to pay for?
