In Athens my intention had been to use the Skyserv Aristotle Lounge but it was nowhere to be found and so I had to look elsewhere.
I had previously visited the Goldair Handling lounge but this time I thought I would try the Skyserv Handling Services lounge.
The Aegean lounge listed is on level 1. The other 3 lounges are on level 2 and they are situated right next to each other.
The Skyserv lounge is for Air China, Egypt Air and British Airways among others. I was flying a BA flight so was eligible.
So the lounge itself was signed Skyserv as well as Sky Express VIP lounge. But there was a sign on the door. “Dear passengers, Please proceed to the Swissport lounge. Thank you”.
That lounge was right next door so I went in. The Swissport lounge is for Qatar, Royal Jordanian and Dragonpass.

So after all that there was no problem checking in and I was in the lounge.
Very dramatic colors hit me immediately. Shiny pink, gold and purple colors and bright orange and black tiles.
The lounge is nice and large and has this dramatic color scheme. Nice large tv’s on the walls and many very comfortable areas to sit.
Equally dramatic floor tiles make for a rather bright room. It was almost overbearing.
Even a lovely fishtank in the corner. A large and enjoyable lounge. There are also monitors on the wall with departing flights listed.
Food and drink choices:
A small but pleasant display of food all nicely spread out.
Salad and sandwiches with cream cheese, cherry tomatoes, turkey and other items. There were soup options too.
Lovely Mediterranean food choices. Olives, egg plant, tomatoes, pasta salad, cretan salad and various other dishes.
Really interesting plates to use.
My favorite coffee machine for a really good cappuccino. Tea was also available.
A small variety of liquor was available but a full fridge with wine, beer, juice, sodas and water was handy. There is enough here to keep most people happy.
Rusks, biscuits, cake and cocoa-orange cereal bars are sweet treats on the counter.
Restrooms:
Even the restrooms have a dramatic tile and marble decorating scheme.
This is the gentleman’s rest room with appropriate fittings.
The staff does a nice job as the toilet was clean and shiny. Very nice and bright to use.
Conclusion:
Another very successful experience using Priority Pass around the world.
My visit to the Swissport lounge was rather unexpected but it was a fun experience.
The dramatic colors were really interesting, the food was lovely and I did enjoy my stop over there.
I used 2 different lounges in a week in Athens and they were both better than most Priority Pass lounges in the United States.
You cannot go wrong using the Priority Pass lounges in Athens.
