There are two sections to the Warsaw Chopin international airport: the Schengen and non-Schengen area. While the EU-domestic Schengen area has one pay-per-use lounge and two LOT Airlines lounges, the non-Schengen area as one pay-per-use lounge and one LOT Airlines lounge.
LOT Mazurek business lounge
The only airline lounge in the non-Schengen zone is a LOT lounge. The cozy space is more than sufficient for low early morning demand. There is a shower available and well-appointed washroom amenities including beard oil.
The chairs are comfortable with a mix of cafe-style seating and a long working bench facing the apron with plenty of charging sockets. The food is also excellent; here is good Polish wine, a half-dozen types of beer, premium cold cuts and hot lunch served all day.
This lounge is open for Star Alliance gold members and business class customers.
Etiuda Lounge
This larger pay-per-use lounge also accepts Priority Pass. Airlines without a lounge at WAW (including, strangely, other Star Alliance airlines) also have an agreement to let premium cabin passengers use the space.
There are seats for at least 100 passengers and a hot and cold buffet. While there is a selection of wine and beers, there was no bottle opener the day I visited. Instead of eating a meal, I opted to have some Polish chocolates and a bottle of tonic water—I have a bottle opener keychain.
