Terminal 1 at Lyon Airport in France has a lounge called Salon Hegoa which is used by British Airways. It is always nice when a third party lounge surprises you and I am pleased to report this is one of those times.
After security screening you turn left and the lounge is at one end of the terminal. When I entered, I showed my boarding pass and immediately noted how small the place is.
Salon Hegoa
The space is divided up quite nicely so it is not as small as it first appeared. It is quite possible to not be sitting right beside people but at busy times I daresay you would find it crowded.
Speak French?
Lyon Airport have a video on YouTube which shows the lounge in all its glory. If you speak French you will understand what is being said and if not you will still get a very good look around the lounge.
It is good for me that airports don’t do this as a common thing. I would have less to review if that were the case!
Overall Thoughts
Pleasantly surprised are the two words that spring to mind for my visit to this lounge. It is a nice space to spend an hour or less relaxing in before your flight. The food is worth trying, it is quiet, clean and well lit. What more could anyone want?

Trent….this is totally off subject, but… Is it ever a good idea to buy miles?
Hahaha! Totally off subject. Short answer – yes. Buying miles for cheap in sales and using them to redeem for travel can be a brilliant way to save a lot of money. I know some of the bloggers on here swear by it. Personally, I have never purchased miles. Some of the BoardingArea bloggers run some good stories notifying people of good deals, so if you’re interested in it, keep an eye out on the main site. Hope this helps!
