Following on from the recent article. I’m in Marseille airport today and it’s a lovely airport but the lack of lounge access is ridiculous.
There are two quite nice looking lounges that can’t be accessed with a Priority Pass, Club Europe or BA status. The lounge after passport control will let dragon passes in.
You get a 20 euro voucher given to you with no explanation and a QR that sends you to a confusing list of places which may or may not take it. But really €20 doesn’t amount to much in an airport.
Really unacceptable from BA that they still havent sorted this out.1. BA can’t force lounges to accept their passengers.
2. A €20 voucher suggests that they have “sorted this out” as there are a number of airports where you don’t get even that.
I recall about 10 years ago there was definitely a lounge that BA pax could use.
Flyer/Stayer is right, though, at GCM for example there’s no lounge and the $12.50 vouchers which used to be given to pax who’d paid £2k – £3k for a CW seat seem to have disappeared since the pandemic!
@safetycard – seriously? You consider €20 insufficient? It’s equivalent to the sum you get in PP restaurant alternatives to lounges, and how on earth much out of your ticket do you realistically expect an airline to pay? If a lounge is really so important, you could get a Barclaycard with DragonPass, a proper PP card or even just pay the entrance fee.
PP from HSBC and others does offer restaurant options at MRS T1.
BA is actually being remarkably generous but it would appear that you want something for nothing as a matter of principle but either don’t value it enough or are too tight to put your hand in your pocket to visit the lounge or to top up the €20 which can be spent on all sorts of things.
The lounge of course is all the more agreeable by restricting access to those who actually value it vs the zoo lounge in Nice.
