Just a quick update on FRA:
My 915 flight back tonight is delayed, so I've gone on a tour of the lounges and the Cathay pacific lounge is open still at 8pm local time.
The CX lounge is much quieter (only 4 people here) and has slightly better food. JL was packed because their Tokyo flight is just about to leave.

IST update.
The BA lounge is CLOSED. The signs look like this is a either a refurb or a total closedown, and not just a random closure due to lack of staff/facilities.
BA pax directed to the 'PrimeClass' lounge across the hallway.
Prime class lounge is nicely decorated, but very very busy with PP holders and other non-airline status pax. Very good food though - including Turkish style meze, East Asian style noodles and pizza. Bar with draught Efes and assorted bottles beers.

A couple of notes:
I can verify that there is no Champagne or sparkling wine at the IST lounge as I am sat at the bar there now.
BA flights now operate from Terminal D at KBP so use the lounge there rather than the one in Terminal F. I am passing through there on Monday so will scout out the facilities if I have time.

It is nicer looking than the one in Terminal F but as far as snacks/drinks are concerned - pretty much the same.

KBP Lounge
There are showers as well as toilets within the lounge.
The lounge is accessed via escalators opposite either gate D4 or D8.
There is a small selection of sandwiches available from the bar instead of rolls.
Otherwise, the description is the same as the lounge in Terminal F. You still get the view of Soviet aircraft albeit from a different angle. I don't know if BA always use the same gate but we went from D5 yesterday which is less than a minute's walk from the lounge so you could comfortably wait until a couple of minutes before the gate closed.

The situation in Zurich has now changed. Instead of the dreadful DNATA one in D, there's now a lovely shiny new OneWorld lounge opposite it. Lots of seats, nice selection of drinks, snacks etc. Huge upgrade

The CPH Apartment lounge is only for oneworld Emeralds, I believe.
CE and oneworld Sapphire definitely doesn't grant access - I am currently in the really rather poor Novia lounge. There's a reasonable view of the taxiway, but food selection looks Baxter-Storey like (
), and it's rather crowded.
