At KRK it took about 3 years after the service was reinstated before lounge access was provided, so my expectation is GDN and WRO will not get access as soon as the service starts (if the service ever starts)

As for the service ever starting - I just bought a WRO-LHR ticket for 19th Aug for 81 zł (£15). That's cheaper than Ryanair and Wizz on the same day! Passenger numbers probably don't look too promising so far...

Yeah, the only hope I have is based on the fact that every legacy airline at WRO uses the lounge (except SAS, but they have a policy of not using contract lounges anywhere). Surely, the 'World's favourite airline' BA wouldn't want to be worse than KL or LH?

But times have changed, so you never know.
What is the cost of a one time purchase for lounge access? It could be more than you have paid for your ticket! Its 120pln at KRK

69PLN, which I think is pretty decent. Never been in that lounge though, so can't say if it's worth it. Might visit this time around - WRO is technically my local airport in Poland, but I've somehow never been to the lounge.

Please note that this lounge at the beginning of the B gates no longer accepts BA passengers, but it does accept priority pass.
I visited today and they told me that many airlines haven’t been able to use the lounge for at least 12 months and so currently there is no lounge available to BA passengers. No voucher was offered, but maybe this is a thing of the past.
Prior to travelling I researched where we could relax at PMI and the Valdemosa lounge was still listed.

Will be passing through at the end of August, all being well, never tried it before but sounded half decent with hot food and Cava at least - will be a bit of an annoyance if it's still inaccessible (don't have PP)...

looks like they are starting with 3 flights a week from HAM to LHR... My guess is that they will open once they have daily flights again

BA just started flying back to Ljubljana Airport where you will find a new terminal and also a new lounge. If you want to see a review of the new terminal and lounge at Ljubljana Airport, you can see my review on youtube:
I'm new at doing videos and promise to improve with time.
