Also please note that you'll only be entitled to lounge access if you fly in C. TP (or any other Star Alliance) gold card-holders flying in Y onboard TP don't have that prerrogative anymore for contract lounges (as is the case in ORY).

Lady at check in said it was open...took the escalator upstairs and it is still very much closed
ANA lounge open but not welcoming TAP passengers of course so you need PP or similar.

For Vinci Airports ANA Lounge is a profit center as all these airlines are paying for use, but TAP bean counters treat Lounge as a cost center - so will keep it close as long as possible (or until Commercial folks start realizing TAP loses market share - but how many non-FT'ers chose airline based on lounge availability)?

Link here to see what lounges you can access per airport as TP Gold flying in Y to avoid disappointment: https://www.flytap.com/en-pt/at-the-airport/lounges

Layover in LIS ... Quite a few TP Gold trying to get into the ANA Lounge. You could tell that the reception staff was tired of it already! Lounge still closed in FAO, and no fast track either. FAO is getting quite busy will all the tourists coming in and out.

Is there a lounge in Funchal? Is it open? I'm flying LH on TP metal business class with TK Gold. Thanks.
