THE FINDER LOUNGE REVIEW PROMISE: Our lounge reviews are based on a visit to the actual lounge during normal operation. We won't write reviews based on access during a media preview or other event, since that doesn't reflect the experience for regular visitors.
We offer an honest and open critique from one of our frequent flyer experts. Being in a lounge should always be more pleasant than being stuck waiting at the gate, but we won't shy away from highlighting issues.
Key factors we'll consider include:
We'll compare each lounge to others from the same operation when relevant.
After visiting, we rate each lounge on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Here's what the ratings mean:
5 stars: A truly exceptional lounge with so many luxury touches you'll definitely be getting to the airport early to enjoy it.
4.5 stars: A well-designed and stylish lounge with extra offerings that make it stand out.
4 stars: An impressive lounge with a decent amount of space and a diverse range of food and drink.
3.5 stars: As for 3 stars but adds extra options, features or space.
3 stars: A solid lounge offering, with all the options covered: food, drink, work space and restrooms.
2.5 stars: As for 2 stars but adds one or two extra features.
2 stars: A basic lounge that lacks space, services and flair.
1.5 stars: A disappointing lounge that doesn't hit the mark in terms of facilities, access or price.
1 star: A lounge so ordinary you're definitely better off staying away and paying for food and drinks elsewhere.
