Twitter team said no vouchers given. Sigh...

Finnair does not have a lounge in Krakow. There is an airport owned lounge that the various airlines use, but BA refuse to pay for it so it is not available to BA passengers unless you have priority pass/lounge key or similar. You can pay to use the lounge.

Thank you navylad and karfa, we don't have priority pass so the airport cafes it is.

Not sure if this is the right place for this - am trying to search via my mobile but this thread format looks terrible! All the pics I assume.

Anyway, I'm currently in LIN and happy to report they serve prosecco, so it's worth updating the "fizz" bit. Also, for what it's worth, in addition to the pastries and mini desserts on offer (which are very good indeed) they're also serving Panettone. I know it's a seasonal thing but it's nice to know - and again, what they've put out is good quality.

Hi all

We decided to pop over to Nuremberg for a day trip to take advantage of a cheap fare on BA's first flight back from NUE-LGW (not the outbound as it is B2B so we came this morning on Ryanair so we could spend a day in the city sampling the beer and sausages).

By sheer coincidence we ended up sharing a communal table in a restaurant at lunch next to the BA team responsible for the route launch, who were lovely. Seemed very amused when they found out we were on "their" flight!

They confirmed there is *not* and will not be any lounge access at Nuremberg as they have not negotiated access for the five week period they are operating this route.

There is also no app/online check in as BA/NUE systems are not compatible (something we'd already noticed as we couldn't get it to work but seems this will also be the case throughout).

Fingers crossed for a successful first arrival into NUE later today!

Update for PMI. As usual for winter, the A gates (non-Schengen flights incl BA) were closed at the start of November, probably until around Easter 2018. Previously they moved to the D gates for the winter, making Sala Formentor the nearest lounge to the gates. However, this winter the non-Schengen gates are now in "terminal" C, meaning that Valldemossa is now the closest lounge to BA gates in both winter and summer. They are pretty much identical in furnishings and F&B provision, though Formentor is slightly larger and a bit quieter since it is not near as many gates. It is probably an extra 3-5 mins walk each way if you wish to go down there.

As before, both lounges are after security but before passport control. Allow 5-7 mins to get to the non-Schengen C gates from the lounge. For those without lounge access, the C gate area is the nicest part of the airport, with more shopping and dining options than the other sections.

There has also been some update to the furniture and food at the PMI lounges, will post some pics in another post.

Outrageous that BA push lounge access prominently in POUG offerings when they know at many European out stations they don't offer it. Both of my last two trips had no lounge access (TLL and SVQ). The latter would have been very appreciated as the terminal was rammed.

I'll be flying NUE-LGW tomorrow so thanks for the heads up about the not working online check in. Saves me the trouble of trying it over and over again.

As for the lounge access - apart from the Lufthansa lounges there is only one small airport operated rathole lounge which is not worth visiting even for 5 minutes (worst lounge I've ever been to). Stay in the city as long as possible. At the airport there is not a lot to spend time on.

Have a good flight!

This happened a few months ago, but I've only now got round to adding the pics. PMI has had a bit of a refresh with some new furniture in the lounge and a bit of an upgrade to the food, now including hot food at lunchtime and evenings. See below some pics. These are all from the Valldemossa lounge, but I'd suspect the same is provided in Formentor, have never noticed material difference between them. Not sure when the hot food starts and finishes at lunchtime, it was certainly there at 13:30. In the evening, hot food usually appears around 18:30. The hot food doesn't appear too veggie-friendly, there is usually some meat or fish/seafood tucked away in there, with the exception of the plain rice. While it's not exactly haute cuisine, it's not bad and a step up on what you currently receive in CE on this Medium route.

Trust me, you didn’t miss out there. Funnily enough I was on the same flight.

so the Airport’s website reference to one world business travellers having access is incorrect?

I don't know the whole history of OW at NUE, but I have a suspicion that this may have been written when AB was still operating and may have been the only OW airline at the airport, albeit with AB flights carrying other OW codes. On the strength of that, I had access to the lounge about two years ago when flying on BA ops AB.

Is there any other OW airline now operating to NUE?

Access question: Flying DUB-FRA on EI in Y. I'm OW Sapphire with BA. I believe I won't have lounge access if I'm reading the access rules correctly. Is that right?
