A simple question which I am sure is covered elsewhere so forgive my laziness...!

Is there any difference at WAW in ground service for SEN and HON when travelling on LH Group ? Different lounge/corner of lounge ? Chaperone of any sort ?

HON and SEN get the Elite lounge, which is currently closed, the rest of the lounge is open within Polonez.

HON are escorted to gate (very DYKWIA) and driven to the aircraft in a Volvo to avoid the bus which is good, sorry I should say in Helga explanation... when an outside position

Pickup is also in place on a bus gate arrival

Thank you for the prompt reply!

Sorry my Polish is not great... or not existent, I should say What is Polonez- is it the main LO lounge ? And what is DYKWIA ?

Also... Are domestic departures on the Dash 8 mostly on pier or outside positions ?

Well its a bit legacy, but I would say its quite pleasant because its small and you can lie down in the back with a glass of champagne. Champagne is only there, plus some of the wines for a while there was a very nice Riesling from long haul and one or two spirits; for example there is a malt, but nothing fancy like Glenlivet. There are some differences in the food. I don't like the main lounge as its open to the roof of the airport and it gets a bit too cold.

Oh I almost forgot, San Pelly water, my favourite.

Because its very small, I wonder how many seats will be utilisable once it re-opens.

Oh noted. Did you try the fish or the chicken? I would say the quality of the meals is much improved over the buffet.

I was tempted to for the chicken, based in the pictures you(or someone else) posted here, but at the end just had a ham sandwich, that was quite tasty
