I though I just read that the CX lounge in CDG has recently been remolded and is quite good.

ZRH depending on which part of the terminal you fly from, has a huge lounge with open air terrace and runway views |
the lounge you refer to at WAW is not a OW lounge but a 3rd party airport lounge that can be used by BA Gold cardholders
it is in the Schengen part of WAW, at the other end of the terminal from passport control and the Schengen flights Not a huge problem in itself but does need to be considered when deciding when to leave the lounge. There is another 3rd party lounge in the non Schengen area that BA uses, not exclusive to BA Gold |
The GIB lounge, while sometimes busy is ok, I think it is the terrace that is a major attraction for most visitors so often busy.

Crèmant d'Alsace to be exact. ;) It's a good value, and I often have it at home with some nice blueberry liqueur to make Kir Royales. Do they have any fruit liqueur in the BSL lounge?

CX CDG. Nice views, noodle bar, and standard classy Cathay affair. Can be busy on some days of the week when there's the two late evening BA flights, Cathay's evening flight, Air India (and a few others it is shared with). But a nice space for an outstation.

CX J/F lounge at LHR, for sure. And glad to see HEL AY lounges on the list. I agree.

I'd say CX LHR T3 F, followed by AY HEL Premium, QR LHR T4, CX LHR T3 J, QF LHR T3 and then BA LHR T5 Concorde Room, in that order (although rating on champagne alone, the CCR would move up). I haven't checked out the MAD lounges yet.

Sounds nice, but you won't find either of those ingredients in a Kir Royale if we're getting technical :P

Agreed about the QR lounge in T4, but Emarald alone is not enough, you need to be flying J or F. It’s good for propping up the bar and indulging in cocktails, and is better than the CX T3 bar (in the J section) where the bartenders don’t always have much of a clue, or bedside manner. One thing that sets the QR lounge apart is that the staff actually seem genuinely engaged and proud to be working there, unlike the largely disinterested lounge staff who are just going through the motions that we are all accustomed to pretty much everywhere else in LHR (possibly excepting the Virgin T3 lounge). Someone mentioned the MH T4 lounges, they’re both OK as lounges go, but I’d far rather be propping the bar up in the QR lounge opposite. The CCR and other BA lounges in T5 lost my love some time ago, I tend to find myself in Plane Food more often than not. |
As a run of the mill SCH, CX T3 club wins every time. Cocktails (espresso martini without having to make it yourself in a highball glass), great selection of food, Moët, more Moët. And proper ice cream, rather than the pre-melted stuff you get in GVA now they’ve changed the freezer to one that doesn’t work. Although saying that the little pies in GC T5 are nice. The HEL sauna was nice but there was the eternal dilemma of what to wear... The QF T3 Lounge is great for some healthier snacks but it feels a bit too souless for me. |
