Thank-you to all who have assisted with this project over the past months and years even. While the re-construction of the lounge database continues, I am pleased to be able to launch this section, which as you can see synchronises nicely with the new routes BA is launching in December.

While this is largely intended as a reference thread, I'd like to encourage the discussion, joy, and criticism of particular lounges, so please do feel free to join the existing thread discussions or start a new thread if none currently exist. The images are brighter than before and the text is larger. Also the lounge cards are a fraction of their previous size and now much less demanding on bandwidth, which I know many of us will appreciate especially when accessing the information on the move.

If you have any comments relating to the information displayed in the lounge cards within this section, please add your comments here.

Hi Prospero, a great resource

As I think I pointed out on another thread, the OSL lounge does have PCs available. And there is also a room that can be booked for meetings/conference calls etc.

Hi Prospero, These and the other lounge threads are superb.

One small pernickety point. LIN is Milan Linate (not Linati)

As of August, there was no champagne or sparkling wine in the third party DUS lounge, despite the availability of flute glasses.

Excellent guide!

Just a short note on SZG; despite there not being a lounge, you should get a €10 voucher to spend airside. I believe Prosecco is €4 a glass.

I thought BSL was local sparking wine - available to pour by the glass yourselves instead of ' on request ' champagne - though I haven't been there since August so may be wrong!

There's not a lot to eat, some tapas, croissants, chips(if you are American, crisps if you are British), peanuts, toast for breakfast.
Plenty of soft drinks but If you want something stronger than San Miguel you'll have to ask for it.

Not saying you're wrong as I haven't been there since before you, but there has been a management change.

AIUI (from posts in the SWISS forum), the BSL lounge is no longer a SWISS lounge but is operated on behalf of the airport with different access rules.

I just hope they still have delicious Mövenpick ice cream and fresh orange juice next time.

Well that's crap! That lounge was a haven for those of us who liked the local sparkling wine. Was a haven of tranquility and taking a full bottle of that beautiful stuff to your 'lounger seat' was the highlight of my travel to BSL.
Drat. Certainly hope this is not the case!

If I'm not mistaken, the spa at HEL has been enhanced into oblivion: see here.

Do we have confirmation that the BA lounges at MXP, GVA and IST are Galleries Club lounges, and not Terraces lounges still?

The pictures for these three lounges show the Terraces concept, and I have not read any reports that they have been refurbished yet.
