There are a few ways to kill time at BCN. I split my time between the lounge and shopping. The lounge overall is okay, but it felt like it was in need of updating. There were plenty of food options, especially if you're into meats and cheeses. The staff did a good job at keeping the place tidy. My main gripe was around the business - "crowdiness." There are many ways to get into this lounge - so it's busier than other lounges. If you have access - it's a good place to kill time. read more

The place is HUGE but seems very outdated. They offer private rooms for booking as well but I wasn't sure if there were extra fees involved with my Priority Pass membership so I didn't bother asking. There are plenty of spaces to lounge and dine. The restrooms are adequate but could use more frequent cleaning. The worst part is the food selection. VERY limited with some cold cuts and tiny sandwiches with no hot food at all. I like the espresso machine, but that's the only thing I liked about this place. Also idk why everywhere in Europe the AC seems to be so weak!! :( read more

VIP Lounge - Airport Lounges Near Me - El Prat de Llobregat, B

Haven't been to many VIP lounges but I gotta say, it's alright. They have an instant coffee maker.... and some light snacks... not much for those who are watching what they eat. There was free wifi for a short time... basically long enough to check your email otherwise you have to pay. Bathrooms were nice. It was nice to have a place to sit and hang until it was time to get to the next flight. read more

Definitely a premium lounge. Joint lounge was kind of wierd, but didnt seem crowded. You can get Full bottles of water, soda, juices, ice cream (yes that's right) & yogurt!!! Also available are the standard pastry and dry cereal offerings as well. Nothing out of this world, but the seats are very comfy. If this place had exclusive Catalunya treats - that would be 5 stars for me. read more

VIP Lounge - Ugh I have to renew my free WiFi card after 18hours? #travelsnob - Airport Lounges Near Me - El Prat de Llobregat, B

It's not great but it's a quiet place to hang out before your flight with clean restrooms. Lots of seating in large chairs with views of the terminal below. Food selection is very minimal so bring something with you. The only food that was out in the two hours we were there was chips and olives. They have a nice selection of wine though with 4 different red wines, 2 white wines and 2 different cava's. The liquor selection isn't bad either with all the basics, but nothing top shelf. Sodas consisted of coke, diet coke, fanta orange, fanta grape and fanta lime. The only beer offered was Estrella, which was wasn't bad. The big let down was the wifi which never worked once while we were there. read more

This lounge is used by multi-airlines and offers a variety of pastries such as plain croissants, chocolate croissants, and butterfly cookies. Self-serving beverage bar includes coffee, soda, juice, wine, gin, and beer. Not all top shelf items but enough to get through the wait for your flight. There is also ice cream for the kids. The lounge does not announce flights so make sure to monitor your time. Wi-Fi is free for the first 15 minutes and then you have to purchase a block of time. The Wi-Fi service is the same service used in the lounge and throughout T1 (Gate D & E). I was given a lounge pass when I checked in for 2 additional guests. However, I was able to use my American Express Priority Pass to also get into the lounge. read more

Pretty standard as far as airport lounges go. "VIP" may be a stretch in describing this one, but at least it's a quiet place away from the rest of the airport. REFRESHMENTS: Great espresso, of course, with various selections allowing you to customize your coffee. Decent drink selection with juices and some milk, but really there isn't much to eat. What you'll find are some snacks such as bread, pastries, jams, and yogurt. Plenty of sugar but not enough protein here, so make sure to eat beforehand if you're hungry. TECH: Wifi is available and reasonably fast. No complaints there. SEATING: Comfy chairs for lounging in solitary or community style, and tables near the food area. AMBIANCE: Nice, clean decor with a modern edge. DATE TIP: A bit stuffy for a date but you won't get stuffed enough (foodwise)! Lol read more

If I could give negative 5 stars, I would. Never have I been treated with such disrespect and entitled attitude by any airport-related employee on all my years of travel (this even includes Spirit and Ryan Air employees.. That's low) as the young "lovely" lady behind the desk this morning. I am Sky Priority with Delta so normally on international flights I get access to lounges. It clearly lists Sky Team on the outside of the lounge as one of the partners. When I tried to check in this morning to grab a quick coffee and jump on a conference call in a quieter space, she had SUCH attitude and said that "Again (again??), your ticket is not good, none of Delta Sky priority statuses qualify for this lounge and your gate is past security on the other side anyways so why would you even try to come in here? You're not welcome.. So don't come back." Not sure if she was confusing me with some other traveler, but regardless, it's not ok. I understand trying to keep the rif raf out and if they don't partner with Delta Sky, fine, but explain that in a courteous manner, not with hostility and like I was a little kid trying to go inside some exclusive adult-only club. I work in luxury brand marketing and the number one difference between the luxury and the rest are customers' perceptions and the way these brands treat their customers. If you're going to pretend you're a luxury airport lounge, you must teach your employees basic customer service ASAP.. Or fire them (as I would, if my employee had that sort of attitude towards customers). You can keep your stale croissants lady.. The friendly service just down the escalator at Dehesa Santa Maria is much worthy of my time and money. read more

Not a BA first class lounge by any means and it appears to be a rest stop for every airline/partner flying out of this side of the airport. When I walked in it was packed with people. The food is pretty basic, just some turkey sandwiches and stale chips. They have a modest drink selection including Coke light and Coke Zero, so that worked for me. I was both surprised and a bit perturbed that despite being in Spain the lounge had no pork products. I mean why are we catering to just a select set of diners? What about vegans or vegetarians, or Hindus? There should be a variety of food options I think. Oh well, I was tired of jamon anyway. And the wifi situation is odd. You have to provide personal details plus click on some sponsor. Isn't flying business or being an airline VIP enough for wifi these days? Sheesh. read more

For what appeared to be a pretty modern airport, the Barcelona VIP lounge is small and just ok. I think the biggest gripe i have for it is that for a larger than average airport, all of the airlines have to share the same lounge. I wish this were only for Star Alliance, instead it's literally for all of the alliances. I know I'm being picky and this is literally a first world problem. But I like my own alliance lounge. This lounge got pretty crowded after a while. The redeeming factor for this lounge is that they offer free mini sandwiches, snacks, beer, and ice cream. read more

This is a sort of 'joint' lounge for all airlines. It's impossible to find. Come out of security and off the escalator. Turn right immediately and keep walking till you almost hit a little food court area. There will be a small lone escalator going up, hidden next to the pillar and a discrete "VIP" sign. Once inside, relax and enjoy, and look out into the madness in the terminal from the observation windows. read more

Very spacious, couches for a little nap. Not too busy at the moment (monday afternoon). Food choices could be more diverse, but overal, very nice. read more

Not VIP at all. It was dirty, there was sad empty bowls that used to have chips or other things in them- no utensils to serve yourself so people just stick their hands in them. Ew. Plates, napkins, trash and other things littered everywhere. We walked in and walked back out with in 2 minutes. Next please. read more

I've traveled extensively over the years and I have to say of all the airport "lounges" the VIP Lounge at Barcelona Airport gets it right! Conveniently located for international travelers, it's stocked with everything you need ... refreshments, snacks (including olives!), wi-fi, showers, sleeping rooms and clean bathrooms. I've been here twice now and both times I had the same experience. If you're traveling from Barcelona, make sure you get to the airport early so you can check it out! I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

We booked the VIP lounge through a link on Easy Jet's web-site, as we had booked our flight with them. We arrived at terminal 2 and went through security, as advised in the directions, to find that there was no access to the lounge - our flight went through 2c and the lounge is in 2b! I called "Holiday Extras", who seem to be managing the booking and they had no idea about the access. I demanded my money back (I was a little annoyed that I would be spending more than 3 hours sitting in a cr*p departure area, rather than the "VIP" lounge) and was fobbed off with an excuse that they would need to investigate. I have now sent three emails, after arriving home and they keep trying to fob me off. Easy Jet are a joke for having the link - Holiday Extras are a joke for not knowing what they are selling and I am very annoyed with both. The only good thing is that I paid with my credit card, so I am going to cut out the middle man and go to MasterCard instead. Don't deal with Holiday Extras, they are a joke and try to steal your money! read more
