How to Find Sky Lounge?
Sky Lounge is easy to find. In Terminal 3, you must complete the check-in and pass the security check. After that, follow the sign lounges to the upper floor, where the lounge can easily be found. It is next to the Austrian Airlines lounge. The lounge can also be accessed from Terminals 1 and 2, but more time is needed.
The lounge is in the Schengen area, and non-Schengen passengers can visit it. They must reserve 15 minutes to pass the passport control after a lounge visit. Schengen passengers can reach their gates in 10 minutes.
Entry Methods
Priority Pass
The lounge can be accessed with Priority Pass membership with many credit cards. A membership can also be bought with pure money from Priority Pass.
LoungeKey
We used LoungeKey to enter the lounge. Our LoungeKey membership has come with the Curve Metal card.
Paying at the Counter
An entry can be paid with pure money at the lounge's reception. The price is about 33 euros.
Some airlines may also invite their first and business-class customers to this lounge free of charge. Unfortunately, Sky Lounge cannot be accessed through LoungePair, Lounge Pass, or LoungeBuddy.
Our Visit to Sky Lounge
We visited Sky Lounge before our airBaltic's flight to Riga. After the security check, we found the lounge in 5 minutes. Signs were clear. We just needed to take the escalators up and walk for a few minutes.
It was busy hours, so the lounge's reception was crowded. We paid our visit with the LoungeKey membership without any issues. The staff at the reception were professional and friendly.
Although busy hours were going on, and the lounge was quite crowded, we found free seats fast. The lounge is spacious so that it can serve many customers simultaneously. The lounge is divided into two parts, and it also has a closed workspace and an area for families. Working everywhere in the lounge is possible because power sockets are distributed everywhere.
Warm food was served. We ate warm chicken with potato pancakes. Also, salad was served with sandwiches. If you prefer to make your bread, bread, butter, vegetables, and cheese are available.
We could choose drinks from soft drinks, juice and beer from the fridge. A coffee machine served tea and exceptional coffee. As a dessert, the lounge offered fruits, sweets, cakes and traditional Austrian Apfelstrudel. Wine and spirits could be taken from a self-service bar.
