Brussels Lounge
Hi
Am off to BRU on 18/2 and have not been for a while. Is the BA lounge still open or is it some other contract lounge for Club passengers?. Is there Fast track?

Fast Track security is located to the right of the main security lanes - scan your own boarding pass. There is no Fast Track at immigration - be prepared to wait a while to get through to the non-Schengen gates (where the lounge is located).

Yes, as with BRU, the BA lounge at AMS closed permanently during the pandemic. BA now use the third party Aspire lounge, adjacent to the ex-BA lounge: https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location=AMS

Question if anyone might know the answer - PMI Sala Valdemossa
I visited there in October 2020. I was Silver/Sapphire at the time and flying in economy, and my co-traveller was a no-status traveling in CE. When we checked in at the lounge there was a brief hesitation letting us in, but then a "Ah, you can guest your co-traveller". Since we both handed our boarding cards and my silver card at the same time I never figured out who was the "guest" and who was the reason we both got in.
It is confusing to me as the OneWorld site states that each one of us would individually have access, me based on status, and my friend due to being in CE.
Is the Oneworld site incorrect? If so, what are the correct access rules? I cannot find any access rules published on the aena.es site.
I am asking as I will finally be at PMI again, this time as BA Gold/Emerald but travelling in economy, and want to know if I should bother to approach the lounge.
Thank you in advance.

Nice Airport
Oneworld site shows Canopy Lounge is closed all day Mon-Sun. I can’t work out the eligibility of the Library Lounge, does anyone have any recent experience with NCE?

Sometimes Google is your friend and will save the time of both yourself and those you’ve asked for help.

Thanks for your reply; I guess you have time on you hands, maybe you can write to the One world lounges webpage people and ask them to update it

I was very happy with 'Airport Lounge World' at MUC today - really nice atmosphere, especially the essentially unsignposted and empty second floor. Nice break from MUC T1 which was a thoroughly miserable experience both at check-in and passport control...
