Thanks to all for the info.
I will have a departing BP, but economy. My arrival BP is Business Class USA-WAW but am departing WAW--Schengen in Economy.
So it sounds like I don't get LOT lounge access thru LOT. I'll use Priority Pass for Preludium then.
Thanks again.

The only lounge currently open is vitosha aspire
the preslav is closed 'for refurbishment'
Not read the lot website in detail but i expect it would same something along the lines of 'lounge access where available' so you can try paying and claiming as advised but run the risk you will not be reimbursed.
It is worth keeping checking as i believe some airlines who were using preslav may now have reached an agreement with aspire.

Data point:
- Fast Track - weekday - about 3.30 pm (close to peak departure bank for LO) - cleared security in 11 minutes
- Fast Track - weekday - about 2 pm - cleared security in less that 5 minutes
- Elite Lounge - weekday - 3.30 to 5.30 pm - 50% occupied (normal lounge looked busy, but seats were available)
- Non-Schengen Lounge - weekday - 2 to 4 pm - zoo at about 3 pm, but even then seats were available, otherwise 60-70% full. About 30% were Azerbaijanis connecting to GYD - LOT must be doing great on this new route

Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere but FYI I was able to access (flying C) both the “Business Lounge” at Sarajevo and the “17/02” at Pristina (at the latter as we speak, by all means nothing exciting but jolly good to avoid the chaos around the public areas). Pleasantly surprised on both accounts as neither of those airports are listed on the website (understandably, may I add, as both SJJ & PRN have only recently been launched). Very happy also with LOT providing a decent alternative to Lufthansa (FRA — enough said), Austrian & Swiss out of Sarajevo.

They had to save money in order to cover the flight of some 20 people accompanying the President and the Minister of Culture who are on their way to NYC for the weekend.

Not exactly a Christmas dinner but close enough.

There’s virtually no food here either (if we were to exclude paluszki and cheese sandwiches 
) and so has always been the case, for that matter. Thankfully, however, the fine-tasting fish in Sopot was kind enough to deliver a healthy and indeed sufficient amount of calories…
