| Inside the Marco Polo lounge , early on 2017 |
At the fourth dimension of writing the lounge is operating at most one-half its previous capacity piece refurbishments are taking place. Staff told me that this is expected to complete past times Apr or May 2017 (be prepared for an over-run - this is Italy). Currently the lounge is real busy; lots of chairs crammed into a pocket-size infinite , almost all of them occupied when I final visited. Prior to this temporary reduction inwards size , in that location was a much bigger U-shaped infinite including an expanse with workstations , as well as access onto a terrace with views over the track as well as lagoon. There was a shower as well as an additional pair of toilets.
The lounge has costless wifi as well as a fairly decent mutual depression temperature buffet , with rolls (meat as well as vegetarian) , niggling pizza squares , fruit as well as tiny desserts. Not the equivalent of a proper repast , but plenty to substitute a repast if y'all pile your plate high , which many guests do. If y'all desire a inexpensive hot repast , the self-service eating theatre on the upper flooring of the terminal is a decent choice. Customers using the lounge tin assistance themselves to non-alcoholic drinks including a make of fruit juices (including that delicious pear juice available inwards Italy). Alcohol including Prosecco is freely available on asking , along with hot drinks. Staff hold back behind the buffet tables to serve drinks.

I've been using the lounge for years , as well as I'm quite fond of it. I promise the novel developments furnish its erstwhile spaciousness - plans (below) include tranquillity areas , a 'winter garden' as well as a re-opening of the outdoor viewing terrace. While non the most lavish lounge anywhere , it's amend than others I've visited inwards Italy. There are ordinarily helpful staff on duty as well as the nutrient for the final distich of years has been quite a practiced selection.

Finding your means to a greater extent than or less the airport
The lounge is airside , on an upper floor. After clearing safety , guide maintain the escalators nigh the windows (the right-hand escalators) and follow the signs. Note that BA's lounge-entitled customers are equally good able to purpose the priority lane at security. BA's green check-in desks are only to the left of the safety queue; the priority lane is alongside.There is nevertheless a lot of edifice function taking house at the airport; the overall trial should hopefully hold upward a pregnant improvement. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 novel moving walkway connecting the terminal with the jetties for ferries as well as H2O taxis is straight off opened upward , which saves a 10-minute walk.
