I flew out of Salzburg earlier this year on an economy ticket and was able to visit the business lounge with a guest.
Don't be too worieed if when you get in, the room is packed and tiny, they have further rooms they open up as the lounge gets busier.
Food improves greatly when the breakfast stuff goes away and lunch stuff is bought out.

Update on OSL: Premium side is open today! But only seating and toilets, with catering still limited to the main lounge (ie no upgraded food and drink, like in the old days), and entrance not being policed. It is quieter on this side though, and big squishy sofas if anyone needs a snooze…

A quick update on Warsaw to say that the lounge is as cramped as ever, not helped by taking pay-on-the-door as well as being a venue for all airlines non-Schengen, and the offering fairly basic although there was bread and cheese because even soup contained meat.
however – I have to give 10 out of 10 for the fast track security which was the fastest I have ever encountered. Few people seem to be using the FastTrack facility, accessed by automatic barcode scan and turnstile entry, but arriving at the luggage belt I was immediately summoned to the very front with a gentleman in charge holding everybody else’s trays back and putting my items into trays for me for immediate scanning. It was the best thing about my entire visit to Poland😜

Just to add that they also accept a BA boarding pass on the door, making a note of name and flight number. I've commented previously that the location is incorrect in the pictogram in post #28 - not sure how else to notify when an edit could be useful.

Has the BA lounge now closed in Brussels? https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location=BRU is showing something different now.

NUE - a very useable lounge
Update on the lounge situation at NUE as of this weekend - a better result than what was available back at posts #603 - 622 it seems.
The Durer Lounge appears to follow standard OW access rules as well as permitting PP entrance. It is after security, opposite gate A17, but before passport control - which was quite busy and took us about 15 minutes to get through. There is no OLCI at NUE so we got our BPs at a checkin desk. There was no mention of the lounge, and mention of fast track (or group no) on the BP. The BP got us through the business security line and gave access to the lounge.
The lounge is a good size but had about half screened off to corral the small number of users into a more manageable area. There is a good selection of pre-packaged fresh fruit, granola, salads and sandwiches as well as a small hot buffet of sausages and breads - complete with instructions for making your very own '3 Nurnberger in Weggla' - (put 3 small sausages in a bread roll!). There is a selection of local beers, local and Italian wines and the fizz is German sekt. Lots of bread options, including various pretzels, and other snacks.
There is a good sized eating area and some more relaxed seating. There are magazines and newspapers mostly in german but with some in turkish. There are toilets in the lounge, no showers, and the wifi is just the free airport wifi.
Don't forget to leave enough time to get through passport control.
