Preludium Executive Lounge
★3.4(1,070 reviews)WAW · Terminal A · airside
Warsaw's DragonPass lounge in the Schengen area — cold buffet, bar and showers.
The Preludium Executive Lounge is one of Warsaw Chopin's independent contract lounges, located airside in Terminal A's Schengen area, near departure gates 33 to 35 on Level 0. It's the DragonPass-access member of the Preludium pairing, offering a comfortable, contemporary escape from the terminal before a Schengen departure. Inside there's a cold buffet with snacks, a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits, complimentary soft drinks, shower facilities, a children's area, Wi-Fi and flight-information screens. If you carry DragonPass and are flying within the Schengen zone, this is the natural choice; Priority Pass holders should head to the separate Preludium Lounge or to Etiuda, which takes both networks.
