An airline-branded lounge in the non-Schengen hall, opposite gate A13.

About this lounge

The BA Terraces Lounge is an airline-branded lounge at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos, located in the non-Schengen zone opposite gate A13. It serves eligible premium-cabin passengers and frequent-flyer status holders departing from the non-Schengen hall, with access tied to your airline ticket and tier rather than an independent lounge membership. As an airport-side branded lounge, it offers a food selection and a place to settle before a long-haul or other non-Schengen flight, away from the main terminal floor. Because eligibility and the exact facilities can change, it's worth confirming current access rules and opening hours with your airline before you travel, and choosing this lounge only if you're departing from the non-Schengen side.

A practical spot for a little email before a flight, with Wi-Fi and a calmer setting than the terminal floor. Facilities are basic, so it's better for a short stop than extended work.

Food & drink

The lounge provides a food selection and refreshments for eligible passengers. Specifics can vary, so treat it as a place to grab a bite and a drink before a non-Schengen flight rather than a full dining destination.
