oneworld lounges in Budapest
Can anybody provide information on the oneworld lounges available at Budapest, beyond what's available on the oneworld website? The Malev website provides next to no information.
What is the standard of the Malev lounges and the facilities available? Is it a comfortable place for a three hour layover?

I was in Malev's Millennium Lounge (Non-Schengen area) last October and it's fairly basic, but comfortable enough for a short visit. It has all the hallmarks of a third party lounge.
If your layover is 3hrs then I'd be packing a book to read. The bar was standard fare, with a limited selection of crisps/nuts etc as snacks. I recall it had a view of the apron, but Ferihegy is hardly an plane spotter's paradise.

Duna Gold Lounge and Audi Lounge are pretty similar and small.
Limited selection of magazines (but if you read German or Hungarian is fine!)
I prefer the first one as the selection of snacks and drinks is often better and there's a view outside.
I will update my experiences starting from Sept-October....

There are 3 lounges in the schengen area, two of them used by Oneworld and one is only for Lufthansa/Austrian. The Oneworld lounges are sometimes overcrowded because they are small, but it depends when you will stay there, and if you stay in the schengen-area, i propose the Audi Lounge which i find more relaxing than the others. All of them have free internet, television, the selection of snacks and drinks are ok. As Budapest airport is under reconstruction and will be extended, the situtation will be better soon (at least we hope).
