Has anyone recently travelled through Nice Cote d’Azur and can verify whether the Canopy lounge is currently open? I’m asking because the OneWorld lounge finder says “closed all day” under opening hours for all seven days; but both the PriorityPass website and the Nice airport website indicate that it’s open (albeit with slightly different opening hours).

If yes, is it any good? What are the food/snack options like?

I don't know whether it's currently open, but my review of the Canopy lounge from 2019 is here: In the Footsteps of Film Stars: The InterContinental Carlton Cannes and the Riviera

It has been open over the last few months since the terminal re-opened, so unless something has happened I can't see why it would now be closed.

Next year I might get PP to get into the nicer looking lounge next door...
+1. It really is hilariously bad for a destination with up to 5-7 flights per day to London. Incredibly dark and even the loos are now outside. Madly, the reception area uses about 30% of the total lounge footprint. Oh for the days of the BA Terraces Lounge...

it is open, and every bit as mediocre as the pre-Covid version. Snacks are very limited to some cheese, ham, bread, sandwiches and a couple of random unidentified things.

Count yourself lucky it's open, I emailed the skyserv lounge in Rhodes and they told me it's closed due to Covid until the start of the season next year, ridiculous !

Thank you all. I can confirm it (the NCE lounge) is indeed open, and with very limited snacks (and no proper cutlery). Also, the priority check-in queue was absolutely atrocious; I ended up ditching out left-over sun lotion so we could go HBO, after the queue hadn’t moved for half an our.

Just to note that the Ljubljana lounge accepts BA pax and is a rather lovely and modern space with salads, rolls, bean to cup coffee, gin, whiskey, bubbles, wine and draught lager. Its a touch warm by the windows but I like it. Theres also an outdoor terrace which is now open (and has a great view) but hilariously under-furnished with 5 metal stools.

Oneworld states that the TFS lounge closes at 1900 on Wednesday. The wiki indicates it's open until 2100 which I'm hoping is the case as the BA flight departs 2015. Anyone been recently?

PEG lounge update

Perugia airport has a lounge. Although marked on the airport map as for general aviation, it seems to be assessable for eligible one world card holders / CE travellers. At least I think so ... Passing though at the weekend, PEG has a cafe landslide, check-in / security and 3 gates. Passport control is in from of A and B gates. If you wander to the bar by the C gate and resist the temptation to rush through passport control there is a door on the left marked "Business lounge" but with no indication for eligibility. When I arrived it was locked so I went to the bar. Coming back towards the A/B gates later the door was open ... BA passengers were inside (no other flights that evening) but no lounge attendant and door wedged open with a chair. Facilities include 3 tables, a few chairs, a fridge with water and a view of the runway.

Update from FCO for anyone bold enough to be doing an ex-EU. The QR Prima Vista is closed for an unknown period, and QR dont appear to be offering any alternative lounge or vouchers. Fortunately, the BA lounge is available for status holders and is excellent.

The lounge that BA used to use at BUD (Budapest, Hungary) is now open again.
Same format as before, run by BUD airport service company CELEBI, I think.
*Note that the Oneworld lounge database is not up to date and says this lounge its closed.*
The lounge is in the non-schengen area - after passport control , near to gate B9 . Up a short flight of stairs.

There isn't one. There used to be a BA Executive Club lounge, which was taken over by a third party a number of years ago (and still sported the old BA interior complete with phone booths), but closed permanently during COVID.

I have been through a few times recently , there have been a few downgrades - no spirits, no saucisson, no fruit salad. Only imported beer and one local red and white, no champagne. I know it sounds a bit petty but it does feel like the lounge is far less well,stocked than it used to be.
