Preludium Lounge
★3.4(1,070 reviews)WAW · Terminal A
Warsaw's Priority Pass lounge in the Schengen area — hot and cold buffet plus a bar.
The Preludium Lounge is one of Warsaw Chopin's independent contract lounges, set inside Terminal A's Schengen area near departure gates 34 to 35 on the lower level. It's the Priority Pass-access member of the Preludium pairing and offers a broad set of amenities for a pre-flight break: a hot and cold buffet, a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits, complimentary soft drinks, shower facilities, Wi-Fi, a TV and flight-information screens. If you hold Priority Pass and are flying within the Schengen zone, this is the natural choice; DragonPass holders should head to the Preludium Executive Lounge, and Etiuda takes both networks if you want the most flexible option.

A comfortable spot for light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi and seating you can use for a laptop, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.
A hot and cold buffet alongside a bar offering house wine, beer and spirits plus complimentary soft drinks. The hot dishes make it a slightly fuller option than the cold-buffet-only lounges at Warsaw.
