Another excellent thread!
DUB lounge is on the upper level of T1 airside departures. Turn left after security. It is officially in the old pier C, but it doesn't really exist anymore having been subsumed by the link to the new T2, so might be better described like this.
It doesn't have champagne
and the toilets are just outside the door accessed by key code available in the lounge. Rumour is this lounge is being refurbished into a larger DAA lounge.

I also read on previous posts that there is now a small airport lounge available at Naples airport. I won't go there until Easter so I might be able to report about that then. At least something better than the previous 25 € vouchers

[QUOTE=Prospero;19756434]DBV Dubrovnik
I was in the Dubrovnik lounge on Sunday.
The lounge seems to have been extended a little (bascially taken over a corridor area), so now there are toilets inside the lounge.
I was given the password for the wifi when I entered (only after asking), although I overheard the couple behind saying that they were told they'd have to pay for it? Seems like you can get it free if you are charming to the lounge staff!
Drinks and food selection was fairly limited, although there was plenty of cold beer. There were plenty of mini bottles of red and white. No reading material in English. Seats look comfy, but really aren't.

A small correction / update on BLQ Marconi lounge. Despite BA site and this one saying it provides WIFI for a fee, it's actually FREE (at least as of 29 Dec 12.) The key to using it is to ask for it at the lounge reception. There's a somewhat tricky and deceiving procedure of obtaining it though: just ignore the instructions on the very first page of your browser, once you've connected to the network (about sending an SMS to get a free 2-hr access) and ask for the access code at the reception instead.

However, IST is most definitely still a Terraces lounge, so the name needs changing above. Current pictures in my report linked below.
Also, STR is not operated by BA, it is a contract lounge, despite being in BA Executive Club concept style.

I've confirmed that MXP and GVA are both Galleries Club lounges. Could we source current pictures for these lounges?

MXP lounge seemed to be exactly the same as it was 5 years ago
Only difference I could see was that Fruit Juices were not in Individual Small Glass bottles any more and there seemed to be a little less choice at the bar
The "priority pass / global" lounges have in contrast improved
