Lounge access in Madrid
Hello everyone!
I just checked with the LH online-Lounge-directory that *G-members have no lounge to access in Madrid. (I´m a UA *G)
Can anyone please confirm that the Spanair-Business-Lounge must not be used!?!
Thanks.

It is a designated Star Alliance Gold lounge with the sign outside the door. It is also very nice (good drinks selection, free internet access (but only 1 computer!) and comfortable seats. You get an OK view out onto the apron.

2 spanair lounges
Just a small addendum. In Madrid there are 2 Spanair lounges, one for the Barcelona-Madrid shuttle (you will not be allowed there if you don't fly to BCN on JK) and the general one. Also they have wifi internet for about 14EUR 24 hours access or 9EUR 30min access.

I found the lounge in Madrid nice but at 06.00 having a bunch of Spanish business men all smoking cigars at te front desk whilst signing in doesnt do much for the stomach

Flew MAD-MUC last June when still just FTL and got into the Sala VIP (airport-run lounge) with one guest and no questions asked.
Not sure whether this was normal practice, or just an early-morning stroke of luck.

In MAD and BCN Spanair staff is quite friendly, if you talk to them in Spanish and say how nice the city... Then they should let you in even as a FTL.
The food/beverage selection is catering to the local taste and if you like olives you should be able to have a nice wait there. And surprisingly for Spain even a non-smoker can enjoy the time in the lounge, while in the concourses still nobody cares about the non-smoking signs.

Sala VIP is the official loungue for SEN and all C pax. FTL can sneak in depending on mood of the warden and the occupancy level at that point.
