The Fantazja Executive Lounge in the Schengen zone is paid entry only, sold by the airport online, at reception or at a kiosk.

Warsaw Chopin Airport lounge tips
Schengen or non-Schengen first
- —Check whether your gate is in the Schengen zone or behind passport control before choosing a lounge; you cannot walk between them freely.
- —Polonez, Preludium Executive and Fantazja Executive serve Schengen flights; Mazurek and Etiuda serve everything else.
- —Non-Schengen gates carry an N suffix, such as 1N–4N near Etiuda.
Timing your visit
- —The executive lounges let you in up to 3 hours before departure, not earlier.
- —Polonez opens at 05:00 and both LOT lounges stay open until 23:00, later than the airport's own lounges.
- —Etiuda opens at 06:30, so an early non-Schengen departure may miss it.
Cards and memberships
- —Amex Platinum holders get in through the card's Priority Pass membership, which works at Preludium Executive and Etiuda.
- —There is no Centurion Lounge at Warsaw Chopin.
- —Priority Pass and DragonPass do not cover LOT's Polonez or Mazurek lounges, or the paid-only Fantazja Executive Lounge.
