Access to LIS lounge in transit with US destination?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered. We are flying FCO-LIS-JFK and I’m wondering if we’ll be able to stop in the lounge in the Schengen area during our 3 hour layover or if perhaps there’s a better option? Thanks

Yes, you will. Just make sure to leave the lounge with sufficient time to pass the immigration control before reaching your JFK gate.

Cheers thanks. Is that US immigration like in Canada with GE?

Welcome to FT, Spety!

It's normal immigration to leave the Schengen area. If you have an Italian passport, you can use electronic gates, which is quick and easy. In the US, you will then go through US immigration (which is usually not quick and easy).

There's no US pre-clearance in LIS (or anywhere else in the Schengen area). Unlike the US, Schengen does have outbound border controls.
