Am at LIS now and am quite surprised at the nice spread in the Lisbon Lounge...plenty of sandwiches and packaged cookies, crackers, nuts, chocolates...cheese, bottled yogurt drinks, wine/beer, everything! Only two cable Internet cords in the back are free, everything else is pay wifi (unless using their own lounge computers of course)

Spent three hours at the Lisbon TAP lounge on July 15th 6:45 AM until 9:10 and we had agreat time. Great spread of food, even has a refrigated baby food section. The computers were popular and always a wait for them and I did noty find free wifi.
Bathrooms were poor, very few so I used the public ones. I like this lounge, open space, good food, good reading materials and large TV screens on the walls to see what is happening.

I had no problem getting free wi-fi access in this lounge in mid-June.
You need to ask for a card with a userID/logon, but apart from that no difficulties that I recall...

But, yes, it was the Lisbon lounge - for a long time the home of LH, LX et al - they even allowed me in as a refugee from BMIBaby flights. Much less crowded than the (old) TAP lounge.
With UK flights leaving from the new wing of the terminal, through the zoo of passport control, there's vanishing little time for me to use any lounge these days.

- Get a 1-hour free wifi code form the lounge front desk. (if you need extra hours just go back for more cards, this is acceptable and expected). The card will have a username and password.
- Connect to the ANA_HotSpots wifi network
- Open your browser and try to go to any site
- A screen with terms and conditions will appear. Accept.
- On the next screen, a bunch of service provider logos will be presented. Click TMN.
- On the next screen, there is room at the top to enter username and password. Enter from the card you got in step 1.
I hope this helps.

Wow - you really don't respond in haste: my post was over a year-and-a-half ago!

It only depends on how early you get to the airport. And if you have an 'electronic passport' it will be really fast (actually a matter of seconds) to go through immigration control using the RAPID system.

Exactly! From the lounge, you'll have a 15 min walk to your gate + queue at immigration (which, as mentioned, should be short).

So you'll use the regular lane. But if your flight is at 18h40 you shouldn't be worried with queues because the non-Schengen rush departure hours are now in the morning.

Quite a nice lounge, too.
