Lounge at FCO (Rome)
 

Does anyone know if there is a lounge at FCO that AA EXPs can use before taking a BA flight?

Was jus there last Friday - BA Terraces lounge is adequate - although currently half was closed due to unexpected renovations. But there was only 3-4 of us in there so no problem. Enjoyed their espresso machine! No computers, and I believe the restrooms are outside (although had no cause to use them).

The lounge is clearly signposted - turn left after going through passport control and security screening.

I was there a few weeks ago and you're allowed to us the BA lounge. It's not that bad. I was there at ~8 in the morning and I was the only one there. Good chocolate croissants.

After using BA lounges in JFK and LHR, the Rome lounge was disappointing. No internet as one poster mentioned but decor generally needed urgent upgrading. Food was okay (nothing to shout about). Nice view of runway with plane takeoffs...mostly the Alitalia planes to view but nevertheless, keeping me busy looking out the window.

I'm not sure if this is the BA Terraces Lounge, but you can click here to view AA's Lounge info for FCO. Although it's not listed, I think you can get into the "Le Anfore" Lounge, too. This may have changed since last summer though.

thanks
 

Thanks everyone. I have a 4 hour layover, and hope not to spend it hanging out in the terminal.

For 1W lounge in the Schengen area (terminal B), there seemed to be only one option: Mosaic lounge operated by the airport, located upstairs.

Not much to say. Coffee machine was broken, tasteless sandwiches filled with raw tomatoes and even those were over most of the time. Nice collection of bottles, but no self service. No view.

Probably better option would have been a cappuccino and panini downstairs.
