I'm assuming that FUE has no BA lounge, though there's a so-called VIP lounge - Skyscanner says 'Business travellers can utilise the VIP lounge in the check-in area.' http://www.skyscanner.net/airports/f...a-airport.html
No IB lounge (2012) - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/iberi...teventura.html

It's been a few months since I was last in FUE but I have a trip coming up there, so I will revert. A lot of the "To Be Confirms" are also in my travel plans coming up over the next few months. My recollection is that there is no lounge there at all, and there's nothing on the Aena (national airports operator) website, when normally it would feature there.
Is that correct? We'll be there in a couple of months. I still have impaired mobility and have requested wheelchair assistance. (We had to cancel last time, which is when I had an accident on the way to LGW.) Thanks.

As FUE doesn't appear in the WIKI, I'm assuming there is no lounge at FUE.

Couple of updates:
Luxembourg: no internet workstations here. Also policy is up 4 hours before flight.
Lyon: not sure about the location. The gate is F01. There is a lot of building work going on which you get a great view of from the lounge.

Champagne LGW Club Lounge?
I have a CE flight booked out of LGW in a couple of weeks, I noticed that there was a comment in the Wiki that Champagne is available on request in the Club lounge at LGW.
I no longer hold any status within the Exec Club.
As it's an early morning 06:40 departure are we likely to be able to get a glass of champagne or bucks fizz? It's all part of a birthday treat for my wife's 50th.

Dublin lounge
I'll be there for a week next month, and was wondering:
1) on arrival, is it possible to use the lounge ? I need to wait for a colleague who doesn't arrive for a couple of hours
2) on departure, presumably I can guest someone into the lounge (I have status) - I'm sure I read somewhere they don't allow guesting ??
3) any rules on how early you can turn up to the lounge on departure ?

In the past the e-gates for entry into DUB security seemed to inhibit entry more than 3 hours before departure but I think that has been turned off now. If on BA metal and Emerald status then you can guest in the usual way, you may be thinking of the Aer Lingus arrangements which are indeed different. You can't get to the lounge when arriving into DUB, since it's now (almost) all segregated, so you would need an onward boarding pass to get to airside departures. It's an OK lounge, but I think there is a risk of some ennui setting in, if arriving more than a couple of hours before departure.

Specifically it's the BaxterStorey staff who can help with this, they wear a uniform very similar to the staff in Waitrose (BS staff call it their Waitrose shirt) with vertical lines on it. OK, with excessive attention to detail, BS' lines are fawn, Waitrose are grey. The main kitchen is on the left shortly after you enter so someone heading into that is the best person to ask. If you want it mixed to Bucks Fizz they'll probably do it if it's quiet.

FNC Funchal
No lounge available to BA passengers. The TAP lounge is now the only lounge in FNC, but it does accept Priority Pass and Lounge Angel. As an alternative, there is a stunning outdoor terrace, restaurants and some quiet seating on Level 3. Use the escalators on the left just after
