Barbados lounge
Hi all,
Has anyone got a recent experience of the club lounge in a Barbados? Is it worth eating before we get there or do they have a nice selection for late lunch/early dinner?

sandwiches , a small salad thing , nuts , crisps
beer
wine
some sprits
Its often busy with people struggling for somewhere to sit.
Hardly worth it to be honest . If youre hungry I suggest a roti in the Chefette downstairs airside after check in and before security. Its far better than you would immagine. Other than that there is a rum bar over the road on the Concorde side.

I was there in September. As sunshinebob says, it's pretty basic, but adequate to get a final Mount Gay and watch the planes land. There were a few sandwiches and crisps etc - all very forgettable. If you're shopping for duty free, prices varied between shops so have a browse before committing.

Flew out of Barbados last Saturday night. Echo the comments above. One point to clarify. When you enter the lounge area, the BA lounge is immediately to the right; the Priority Pass one is further along a short corridor. Neither was great, we had a look at both and slightly preferred the BA one, and there was space available. (We have Priority Pass cards so had the choice.)

I was there in the BA lounge 16th Jan and, on that day, it was fairly quiet. There was a tureen of hot soup as well as the sandwiches and snacks. Overall a reasonable lounge but dont expect a full meal but enough for grazing.

Private Jet Terminal lounge- worth using?
Flying F from BGI soon and wondered about the benefits or otherwise of using the private jet terminal. I ascertained it is quicker for security and you are driven to the steps of the plane. Anything else worth considering. Thinking not to tell OH about it as a little surprise.

the security is a breeze and yes they minibus you straight to the steps of the plane.
no duty free available but they will take you to the main terminal if you wish to buy any. If buying local rum though it is cheaper in the local supermarkets.

Yes. Security is fantastic. Checking bags brilliant and you'll have a private car to the airplane steps. Plus they have the rather lovely Mount Gay XO which helps the sadness of leaving the island.

Echo the comments on the F lounge. Security is a breeze, and it is small but a well stocked bar. I got driven over to the main terminal to get another couple of bottles of Mount Gay before leaving.
Very nice and relaxed.

the private jet lounge (first class travellers only, not Concorde or Gold Card holders) is small but very good. Not worth arriving too early for, but they bring sandwiches, etc out. There is champagne, newspapers, a TV and the like there.
