CONCLUSION

I have been to a lot of business class lounges in Europe and the Fantazja Executive Lounge is definitely one of the best lounges I have ever visited. This lounge is very new as it just opened in June 1. As you can see from the pictures, the lounge has a modern design. The food selection on the buffet was very good specially the bacon-wrapped chicken which kept me coming back for more. The warm buffet was continuously being replenished by the staff which was really impressive. During my stay in the lounge, it never really got crowded as we were only about 4 guests. I actually wondered where the other SAS business class passengers were since I knew that the flight to Copenhagen was almost full. They must have been staying at the LOT Business Lounge since I know for sure that LOT has its own lounge here. Normally, I would visit the other lounges which I have access to but I was sort of hypnotized by this lounge as it was really very nice. And on center table in the buffet area, they have one jar full of Ferrero Rocher and one jar full of Ferrero Raffaello! It couldn't be better. All the tables in the lounge also have small bowls filled with mini chocolates, cream fudge, etc. I remember reading from the internet that there are four Executive Lounges at Warsaw Chopin Airport and that they are named after the famous pieces composed by the airport's namesake, Frederic Chopin. Naming this Lounge Fantazja is just perfect! I may not have visited the other lounges in this airport but I know that I have visited the best lounge!
