ANA Lounge (Schengen)
★3.5(3,357 reviews)FAO
Faro's paid-entry lounge for Schengen departures — buy in without status.
The ANA Lounge in the Schengen area is Faro Airport's pay-in lounge for passengers flying within the Schengen zone. Unlike the Non-Schengen ANA Lounge, which runs on SkyTeam status, this one is paid-entry — you buy access at the lounge without needing airline status, alliance tier or a separate membership. That makes it a straightforward option when you want a calmer, quieter space than the main Schengen departures area before your flight. Once inside, refreshments are complimentary: light snacks alongside soft drinks and a selection of house wine, beer and spirits. It's a relaxed, no-frills lounge rather than a full-service one, but for travellers heading to a Schengen destination it's the main way to sit down somewhere quieter at Faro. As with the other lounges here, opening hours can shift with the seasons, so it's worth confirming against a very early or late departure.
Crowding · Varies with the flight schedule
A quiet enough place for a little email or a phone call before a short-haul flight, though it's a basic pay-in lounge rather than a work-focused space. Expect lounge seating rather than dedicated desks.
A modest, complimentary offering once you've paid in — light snacks alongside soft drinks and a selection of house wine, beer and spirits. It's a light pre-flight bite rather than a full meal, in keeping with a no-frills pay-in lounge.
