Hi,
When I was in Vienna in January this year, I had no issue getting into the Vienna lounge
It is an excellent lounge for a third party lounge. although the seating area closer to the food was quite busy, there are a number of different areas and lots of them were empty.
Regards
TBS

And it's a terrific lounge indeed, I thought.

Same, in late Feb. I think the OW page is just wrong. The lounge's own page lists BA business (plus frequent flyer cards, which I assume would be OW silver), as having access:

Has the Vienna Lounge got the same facility ?

I don't think so but the food and drink selection was very good, the lounge is large and spacious with a lot of different areas and several secession artwork posters on the wall
A 360 degree walkthrough is available via the lounge homepage

In the last week or so, the Melli-Beese lounge in HAJ Terminal C has reopened. It has clearly been refurbished but, before anybody gets too excited, the f&b offering is very very basic indeed. Having missed lunch, I was pleased to have stopped off at the Mövenpick Café landside, before going through security.

BEG hasn't started yet, but if they use a lounge, it will most likely be the Business Club one
https://beg.aero/eng/services_shoppi.../business_club
Also available as a PriorityPass lounge.

Hi. Has anyone visited the ATH lounge recently? I visited a few years ago and it was pretty awful, but I think it's been refurbished? But information on the net seems scarce. Anyone know if the food and drink (also fairly awful from memory) improved with the refurb, if refurbished? Just wish BA would pay for the Goldair lounge.

I cannot see any of the information for the lounges in this thread- all the pictures are missing
It may be my issue, but I have tried both Safari and Firefox

It's a known hosting issue which is being worked on. In the meantime, use the oneworld website which whilst not perfect is mostly accurate: oneworld.com/lounges

What's the food situation like at the OTP lounge?
Up-thread from 2022 there is mention that BA is using the TAROM lounge, and latest Oneworld info updates this to say "MasterCard Business Lounge" with access for BA customers. Has anyone been into this lounge and can say if there is any sort of breakfast available for the morning BA flight?

BEG - Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
BA uses the Business Lounge (signed as Business Club) which is by gate A4. The better lounge for Air Serbia is next door and open to Priority Pass passengers but since JU is BA's direct competitor on the route then it's understandable. Also the airport is under heavy construction at the moment and the Business Lounge has the feel of being in some sort of temporary arrangement. To get to the lounge, do a full U-ey after the duty free experience, it's around the back, whereas BA uses the C gate further on.
Usual BA rules, guesting for Silvers and Golds, no extras for GGLs. The check-in desk writes out an old fashion entry card, but if you are HBO they can handle that at reception, and will have printed boarding cards ready for HBOs who put zero bags at OLCI.
For all its faults, it has a good range of food and drink, including larger Schweppes tins, bottles of still and sparkling water, mini bottles of local red and white wine, and local Kraljica brandy. I will add some photos to this post in the next day or two. Contrary to some other photos, there is natural light in the lounge.
