Relaxed Italian-design SkyTeam lounge, landside in Bologna's Terminal A.

About this lounge

The G.Marconi Lounge is the SkyTeam lounge at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, located landside in the Terminal A area before the security checkpoint. To find it, follow signs to security, turn right towards the glass lift and take it to Level 1. Access is reserved for SkyTeam Elite Plus members and passengers flying business or first class on a SkyTeam airline. The lounge blends modern Italian design with warm, neutral tones for a calm, understated feel, with comfortable seating arranged into quieter nooks and more open social areas. It offers a light spread of snacks alongside beer, wine and soft drinks, plus conference rooms, a TV room, internet terminals and free Wi-Fi. There are no shower facilities. Because it sits landside, leave enough time to clear security after your visit.

Food & drink

The G.Marconi Lounge keeps it simple with a light selection of fresh snacks rather than a hot buffet, paired with beer, wine and soft drinks. It's enough to take the edge off before a flight, and the local Italian wines are a fitting pre-departure touch.
