Contract lounges and Priority Pass lounges offer the most accessible lounge experience at the airport – regardless of airline or travel class, and can be accessed with Priority Pass, credit card access, or for an entrance fee. This page compiles all contract lounge reviews from miles-around: personal accounts from airline-independent lounges worldwide, rated based on amenities, food and beverage offerings, cleanliness, quietness level, and value for money.
Lounges in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas were tested – including the iGA Lounge Istanbul, LuxxLounge Frankfurt, BER Lounge Tegel, Lounge Tempelhof Berlin, The Lounge Leipzig/Halle, Airport Lounge World Munich, Hugo Junkers Lounge Düsseldorf, Plaza Premium Lounge Kuala Lumpur, Al Maha Lounge Doha, marhaba Lounge Singapore Terminal 1, The Lounge Cancún, and the Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge. The reports help frequent flyers and travelers with Priority Pass or credit card access assess whether a visit before their next flight is truly worthwhile.
After a week's relaxing holiday in Catalonia, we flew back to Germany from Barcelona with Lufthansa. Before taking off, we visited the Sala VIP Pau Casals Lounge Barcelona, which was honoured by Priority Pass as the world's best airport lounge in 2013. My expectations were correspondingly high! You can find out whether they were fulfilled in the review.
Katowice Airport is Poland's third-largest airport in terms of passengers. Lufthansa currently offers a total of 21 flights per week. This means the number of passengers is too small for a dedicated airport lounge, so passengers use the contract lounge in Terminal B. Find out in our review that a visit to the Business Lounge at Katowice Airport is still worthwhile.
