New OS Lounges at VIE - Skylink
I have to admit that I'm rather excited about the new OS lounges at the Skylink terminal who opens the doors in June ( or at least they say so ; )

The pre-pictures looks "delightfully spacey".

http://www.smertnikkraut.at/Austrian-Lounges.21.0.html

There will be two OS-lounges with the same reception. One for C-Pax/FTL and one for SEN/HON.

Does anyone now what will happen with the OS-lounges at the old terminal? I guess they will remove one SEN and The C-Lounge at the Non-Schengen part...

Yes, but taken into consideration all the scandals around the new opening of the Skylink-terminal you never know! Yes, Austrians are just like Germans, just sometimes with a dignified Jamaican touch! ; )

Are they going to destroy the HON closet- I mean "Priority Terminal" as well?

Haha.. I guess the amount of time that you have to spend in a flying metal-box to reach HON, would take away every tendencies towards "elevator-claustrophobia" anyway

The HON closet is fine- it is just a little bit crowded at times when a few people bring all their family in with them.

Green and light blue? I am not sure if this is the best combination... Looking forward to the Skylink terminal opening, anyway...

Yes, they will close it. There should, however, be a more acceptable HON lounge or at least section in the Skylink.

Funny indeed. Hoping I had the better informed PAs though. Otherwise I will continue using only the SEN lounges in VIE...

The drivers are FA's who can substitute some flying time with this job- I am not sure if they know about changes in the terminal etc.
