We left the hotel at 5:30AM for our 7:40AM departure out of Warsaw Airport. While that's earlier than I'd usually leave, we were heading to China on a 72 hour transit without visa, so I wanted to be sure we were leaving a bit extra time just to be on the safe side. We arrived…

kinda funny about the visa situation. i used the 72hr transit in PEK last year.. the PRC immigration officer took a wrinkled delta itinerary print-out as proof of onward travel without verifying anything
Man you ain't kidding: LOT has two 734s and then other than that, 787s and E-Jets
For next time- the Elite Club thing is accessible to *G. The only bonus is a separate toilet. There were only men inside the lounge too. Same food. Simply cordoned off and dark. You didn't miss much BUT you could have entered. 😉
Elite Club has also more comfortable seating (with lounge chairs off to the side from the main hall) and some warm snacks. It's accessible with *G or just a LOT C boarding pass.
Contract workers are the result of rough love between LO and the airport authority (which is often said to be massively overstuffed and overpaid). They don't get their agents at the transfer desk or the lounge (so pretty much it's not even their lounge, just their banner in front and a their address on the invoice).
Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane! Thanks! I was at this lounge in March and really liked it. And yes, I stocked up on those Prince Polo bars too! And they must not get too many pax through the elite security lanes at WAW as there were only a couple in front of me. It was the only time I was asked for an elite frequent flyer card! Warsaw isn't known for it's amazing skyline, but my east view from the upper floors of the Intercontinental was stunning with the Palace of Culture in the foreground, the new town, and the old town in the distance past the parks. Recommended!!
The elite lounge is a bit hidden, as the door is actually inside of the business lounge. You need to present your boarding card twice, once at the entrance of the Business lounge, and then again "behind the door". It is accesible for *G customers
The elite lounge is small, but typically far quiter than "outside".
