As TLL is a popular destination at the moment, a lounge card has now been added (with an appropriate caveat)

A friend is flying to Limoges (LIG) shortly.
I looked at the airport's website and it does not appear that there is a lounge. Even if there is, I know there is no guarantee that BA would provide complimentary access to J and status card holders.
Once clear, LIG can be added to the list above.

Yes, I'm a bit behind on updates, but no lounge in LIG. There are business rooms which can be hired there, but it's not a lounge in a conventional sense, and there are no lounge facilities open to passengers for any airline. Very small airport, very few facilities. There is a restaurant used by non airport users with a terrace view on the runway:

The new route airports that I've still not visited are BDS, JSI, ZTH and PUY. I'm not expecting to find a lounge in any of them.

Crikey, I updated the database images just a few days ago and boom! the monthly bandwidth has already been eaten up.
I will do whatever I can to restore the images (also affecting the dashboard, stickies and other lounge threads) during the next few days.

Not seen a reference to the Rioja promotion in GF T3. Quite an extensive selection of white, rosé and red. With accompanying brochure.
Will update photo when I can get the technology to work (or more likely me to work the technology after some Rioja sampling...)

Just booked a CE trip to Athens for November in the current sale and noticed that the return flight showed no lounge section in MMB only the flights on the way out and then onto Manchester from Heathrow on the way back. Contacted BA via Twitter and they said that Athens no longer has a lounge for CE passengers for my date of travel. I don't know whether or not the is true or they are mistaken? Any ideas?
