For the only lounge at Vilnius Airport, I genuinely enjoyed my visit. Even though things were quiet in the terminal at that late hour, you could still easily grab a bite to eat and something to drink. I wouldn't make a point of arriving extra early just for it, but I consider the lounge very solid and would definitely come back.
The Admirals Club DCA, Concourse E, is the best American Airlines can squeeze out of their lounge DNA — modern, clean, functional. No luxury, no fine dining, but pleasantly civilized.
The Lufthansa Panorama Lounge Frankfurt is no premium temple – but a nice retreat with a view. The offering matches the Business Lounge in a smaller format: reliable, solid, no surprises. If you're looking for a quieter spot with apron views, you're better off here than in the overcrowded main lounges.
The AA Flagship Lounge Miami is a solid, functional refuge for the transatlantic traveler — no glamour, but spacious, well-equipped, and with an impressive self-service bar. As American as a lounge can get: a little loud, a little rough around the edges, but somehow likeable.
The BA Lounge in Singapore does its job solidly: clean showers, fast Wi-Fi and an impressive gin selection lift it above average. Culinarily and atmospherically, however, it falls short of modern competitors like the neighbouring Qantas Lounge – quintessentially British-pragmatic.
The Admirals Club at JFK is functional and comfortable, offering solid basics, but it is outdated and by no means spectacular. Travelers who don't expect a premium lounge experience will find a quiet alternative to the gate area here. Passengers with access to the Flagship Lounges should opt for those instead.
The Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge in Frankfurt Terminal 1B is a stylish alternative to the overcrowded Lufthansa Business Lounge — featuring a cozy wood-paneled ambiance, quiet relaxation pods, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The buffet selection is limited and restroom capacity can be stretched during peak hours, but the design and atmosphere make this lounge a hidden gem for a relaxed pre-long-haul experience.
The Admirals Club in Honolulu offers a solid and functional environment for travelers — pleasantly quiet, with good Wi-Fi and comfortable seating. The food and drink selection is on the simpler side and covers the basics without wowing anyone. Overall, a good if unremarkable option for frequent flyers with the right access.
The business lounge at Košice Airport is a pleasant surprise: bright, inviting, and equipped with a surprisingly wide selection of snacks and drinks. For a smaller regional airport, it offers a comfortable stay and is well suited for bridging the waiting time before departure.
The British Airways Galleries Lounge in Philadelphia serves its purpose as a pre-flight retreat, but fails to impress with either modern design or an appealing food and beverage selection. For an international premium lounge, it lacks that certain flair – if you keep your expectations in check, you'll find a solid but uninspiring option here.
The Mabuhay Lounge in Manila (Terminal 2) is a solid but unremarkable business class lounge. The food and drink selection is generous, and the restrooms are decent — though anyone coming from Japan or Taiwan will be used to a higher standard. For killing time between flights, it serves its purpose.
The Lufthansa Business Lounge MUC K11 offers all the essentials: workstations, food, drinks, and even showers. Compared to the Senator Lounge, it's noticeably more crowded and the selection is somewhat smaller – but it's more than sufficient for a lounge visit.
The British Airways Lounge in Geneva impresses with its bright, pleasant atmosphere, a good selection of food and drinks, and practical amenities like power outlets at every seat and free Wi-Fi. A minor downside is that the toilets are publicly accessible in the hallway. Overall, it's well worth a visit before your flight.
The newly redesigned SCAVI & Ray Business Lounge at Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport has improved enormously through its renovation and makes a very positive impression with its modern interior, cozy seating areas, and a solid food and beverage selection. The entrance fee is especially worthwhile for longer stays, while for short stopovers, the value for money needs to be weighed on an individual basis.
The Dürer Lounge at Nuremberg Airport is a solid contract lounge that works well for passing the time before a flight. The offering is reasonable for a contract lounge — the Nuremberg Rostbratwürste in particular are a highlight — though the facilities and service leave room for improvement.
The LATAM Premium Lounge in Santiago de Chile offers a pleasant and elegant wood-design ambiance that invites you to linger. The food and beverage selection is solid and well-timed, though the lack of windows makes the lounge feel somewhat dark and less appealing for longer stays.
The newly renovated Swiss Business and Senator Lounge in Terminal D impresses with a warm, inviting atmosphere, diverse seating areas, and a fresh food and beverage offering. The only downside: showers are still located in the hallway outside the lounge. Overall, a successful result that can hold its own.
The Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge Regional at Kuala Lumpur Airport impresses with its generous space, a striking view of the apron, and a diverse food and beverage selection. The lounge is a gem and is worth heading to the airport a bit earlier.
The Paradise Lounge is the only place at Port Moresby Airport where the Wi-Fi actually works reliably. The food and beverage offering is appealing by local standards and includes regional specialties. Overall a pleasant alternative to the rest of the airport's waiting areas.
The Club Condor Lounge at Buenos Aires Ezeiza is a solid SkyTeam lounge with a bright atmosphere, good food and drink options, and nice extras like massage chairs and a PlayStation corner. For business class passengers and Priority Pass holders, it offers a pleasant pre-departure experience — even if the signage within the terminal could use some improvement.
A solid but unremarkable lounge at Geneva Airport, located at the far end of the lounge area in Terminal 1. The food and drink selection is modest but sufficient to make the wait pleasant. A welcome option for Priority Pass holders — though not worth arriving early for.
The Iberia Velázquez Lounge in Terminal 4S is a true gem – spacious, bright, and with a fantastic apron view. The Do&Co catering impresses with regional specialities and great service. If you can, arrive a little early and make the most of your time here.
The Lufthansa Lounge in Hannover serves its purpose as a waiting lounge solidly and offers a typical Lufthansa standard for food and drinks. The space rarely feels overcrowded, but the restrooms are in urgent need of renovation.
The Airport Business Lounge Krakow offers a solid way to pass the time before departure, with a small selection of food and drinks as well as a separate work area. Cleanliness left something to be desired, however, as guests did not clear their dishes. The lounge is not worth a special detour.
The LOT Business and HON Lounge in Warsaw is clearly one of the better Star Alliance lounges and surpasses Lufthansa's Senator Lounges by a considerable margin. The food and beverage offering is high quality, and the separate HON lounge-within-a-lounge elevates the experience even further. No cost-cutting in sight, consistently satisfying — a definite hidden gem for Warsaw stopovers.
The Marconi Business Lounge in Bologna is adequate for a short stay, but does not offer hot food. A real plus is the fast track through security, which you have to actively ask for. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout the entire visit.
The Ethiopian Cloud9 Lounge in Addis Ababa is a solid business class lounge with a generous layout, clean facilities, and a good food and beverage selection featuring both local and international options. Minor shortcomings in build quality and unreliable showers slightly tarnish the picture, but are offset by dedicated staff. For travel within the African continent, Addis Ababa as a connecting hub and Ethiopian Airlines are a recommendable alternative to the Gulf carriers.
The Business Lounge Paderborn-Lippstadt is a very basic facility with a minimal offering: a coffee machine, beer, water, and juice — that's about as much as you can expect. As a nice gesture at a small regional airport it serves its purpose, but it shouldn't be compared to larger lounges.
The Lufthansa Lounge at CDG is located on the lower level, giving it a somewhat bunker-like feel – natural light is completely absent. Still, it offers everything you need: a solid breakfast buffet, plenty of power outlets, a work area, and friendly staff.
The Swiss Alpine Lounge in Dock A of Zurich Airport impresses with a successful ambience, friendly staff, and an offering with a clear focus on Swiss products. Particularly positive is the quiet atmosphere compared to the main lounge in Terminal A.
