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 Plaza Premium Lounge in Taipei is a solid Priority Pass standard with one real highlight: the freshly prepared made-to-order noodles. The space is large and open, but the thin partition wall to the terminal means it's far from quiet – functional for a quick stopover, but not a place to relax.
The Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge at TPE Terminal 2 is a solid but unremarkable Star Alliance option. The buffet covers the basics, but doesn't look fresh anymore when it gets busy – foodies should opt for the Eva Air Lounge instead.
The Sala VIP Lounge Valencia is a solid airport lounge that scores with friendly staff, a clean ambiance, and a quiet upper floor. The food offering is limited to cold snacks – hot dishes are missing. A good option for killing time before a flight, but not a reason to arrive at the airport early.
The Club LIM impresses with its generous, stylish design featuring local Peruvian charm and a well-thought-out mix of relaxation, work, and family zones. The culinary offering is authentic and high-quality – from Ceviche to Pisco Sour. Only the lack of windows to the outside and live flight information detract from an otherwise nearly complete lounge experience.
The Diamond Lounge Brussels is not a spectacular lounge, but it reliably serves its purpose: a quieter environment away from the terminal with adequate food, drinks, and natural light. Those with Priority Pass access will find solid value here — only the lack of power outlets and the plain décor slightly dampen the overall impression.
The Dan Lounge in Tel Aviv is the only available option at the airport and serves its purpose as a waiting area. The offering is limited to packaged snacks, some salad, and a small bar — expectations should be set accordingly. Anyone using this lounge does so primarily to escape the terminal, not to be pampered.
The Primeclass Lounge in Zagreb is the only option at the airport and serves its purpose as a waiting lounge. With finger food, brownies, and a decent drink selection, it's solid without being exciting. Not a must-visit for frequent flyers, but adequate for a short stay.
The Executive Lounge Wrocław is perfectly adequate for a short stay and offers a solid selection of food and drinks, which the author notes has even improved. As the only lounge at Wrocław Airport, it's a welcome option for travelers with PriorityPass, Dragon Pass, or the relevant airline status.
The lounge at Münster Osnabrück Airport is a quiet and pleasant place to wait before departure. The drink selection is remarkably good and rivals Lufthansa Business Lounges, while the breakfast offering is adequate for the lounge's size. For a small regional airport, having a lounge like this is a very positive feature.
The renovated Tallinn Airport Lounge by LHV is a clear upgrade from its predecessor: more space, modern design with local wood, and an expanded food offering including hot dishes. It deliberately positions itself not as a premium lounge but as a comfortable place to linger and work — and it fulfills that claim well.
The Plaza Premium Lounge at Budapest Airport is a pleasantly bright and well-designed lounge with varied seating options and a small food and beverage selection. Despite an unpleasant experience regarding the photography ban, the lounge is certainly recommendable for the average visitor.
The Platinum Lounge at Budapest Airport is an adequate option to kill time before your flight – but nothing more. The selection is modest, the furnishings are outdated, and finding a power outlet is a challenge. If you don't have a better alternative, it serves its purpose, but it's not worth arriving early for.
The Sky Lounge Vienna in Terminal 3 is a solid contract lounge that scores with a surprisingly good food and drink selection. If you have time to kill, you can't go wrong here – even if it can get crowded during peak hours.
The Karl Jatho Lounge in Hannover is a solid but unremarkable space with apron views. The food and drink selection is limited and feels budget-conscious — no comparison to the Lufthansa Lounge in the same terminal. If you just want to relax briefly and enjoy some peace and quiet, you'll be well served here.
The Schengen CIP Lounge in Faro is a functional, no-frills stopgap — no restrooms, no natural light, and a limited selection make it a place for short stays only. If you already have access, it's worth a quick visit; paying extra for it is hardly worthwhile.
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 Sala VIP Lounge in Malaga impresses above all with a remarkably good food and drink selection for a contract lounge, offering both hot and cold options. The lack of showers and the sometimes crowded space detract from the experience somewhat, but anyone looking for a pleasant wait with plenty of seating and power outlets will be well served here.
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 Skyteam Lounge in Santiago de Chile is a solid, brightly designed lounge on the lower level of International Terminal 2. The selection of food, drinks, and amenities such as showers and lie-flat pods is adequate for travelers' needs. The décor, featuring light green tones and wood design, creates a warm, pleasant ambiance.
The Sala VIP Formentor at Palma de Mallorca Airport offers a pleasant alternative to waiting at the gate, with a good food and drink selection. The lounge is modern in design and mostly clean, but it gets crowded quickly and the clearing service leaves something to be desired. Power outlets are scarce, making it difficult to work.
The American Express VIP Lounge in São Paulo Guarulhos is one of the better options in Terminal 3, scoring points with its modern ambiance, a solid buffet, and a staffed bar. Cleanliness in the restrooms is a bit hit-or-miss, though. If you have time to spare, this is a perfectly fine place to stop — just not worth arriving extra early for.
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 Lounge by GLN at Cologne Airport is the former Lufthansa Senator Lounge under new management, offering a solid if unspectacular selection with a buffet, drinks, and a small work area. Showers are not available. If you want to eat something in peace before your flight, this is a good option – but the lounge isn't worth arriving early for.
The Nordea Lounge in Tallinn is a pleasant surprise, offering a solid selection for the compact airport with a salad bar, sandwiches, and a small range of drinks. As the only lounge at TLL airport, it remains a recommended option for travelers with access via Priority Pass, Lufthansa status, or Business Class.
The Lounge by Luxair is the only lounge at Luxembourg Airport and serves its purpose well. The food and drink selection was better than expected, and the view of the apron is a highlight. Perfectly sufficient for a short stay, but not an extraordinary lounge experience.
The Shelair Lounge in Terminal 2D at CDG is sufficient for a short stopover, but by no means impressive. The buffet is limited, cleanliness leaves much to be desired, and many seats were occupied by trash. Better than nothing – if you have a Priority Pass or a Swiss Business Class ticket, you can pop in briefly.
The VIP Sala Pau Casals in Barcelona T1 is a solid lounge that pleasantly surprises. The food and drink selection is adequate, the bar service is attended, and there are even showers. Absolutely recommended for a shorter stay before departure.
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.
For a short stay, the Hugo Junkers Lounge in Düsseldorf is a solid choice with friendly service and a decent buffet selection. Plenty of seating and a pleasant view of the apron make for a comfortable visit. At EUR 27.50 entry, however, the lounge is barely worth the price — it's best suited for Priority Pass holders.
The Airport Club Lounge in Olbia impresses with its modern design, a surprisingly wide selection of food and drinks, and local specialties. It's very clean and offers a nice view of the apron. A clear hidden gem that significantly exceeds expectations.
The Horizon Lounge in Geneva is a solid but unremarkable option for travellers with lounge access. Perfectly adequate for a short stopover before a connecting flight — but anyone expecting comfortable working conditions or a wide range of offerings will be disappointed.
The Ahlan Business Class Lounge in Dubai is functional and never overcrowded, but feels a little sterile. Highlights include the staffed bar and the large Flightradar 24 display. The author would definitely stop by again on a future visit.
The Primeclass Lounge in Terminal E at Zurich impresses with generous space, an appealing food and beverage selection, and a lovely terrace. The option to shower before departure is a particular highlight. The only minor criticism is the insufficient number of power outlets.
The LATAM VIP Lounge in Bogotá is a solid but unremarkable option in Terminal 1. The food and drink selection is basic, the facilities are adequate, and the gate escort service worked flawlessly. Fine for a short wait, but not a reason to arrive at the airport any earlier than necessary.
