AEGEAN Business Lounge

Over 500 square meters of lounge in SKG Terminal 1

The AEGEAN Business Lounge in Terminal 1 sits airside after security and gives Star Alliance flyers a clearly better option than the generic contract lounge by the non-Schengen gates. FlyerTalk regulars say the new space is more than double the size of the old “cramped box,” so it actually feels usable for working between Aegean banks.

Access runs to business-class passengers and Star Alliance Gold, plus AEGEAN Miles+Bonus elites on eligible tickets, all in the same Terminal 1 Schengen zone. If you qualify for both, head here first; several *A regulars report walking past the contract lounge every time, even if it adds a few extra minutes to the gate walk.

Food is the big gap over the contract lounge, where reviewers complain about “miserable snacks.” Here you usually find proper hot options alongside salads and more substantial bites, not just packaged nibbles and biscuits. Drinks lean standard European: coffee machines, soft drinks and basic alcohol rather than anything top-shelf, but far better than buying a €3 water and €6 sandwich at the public cafes.

Seating spreads across those 500+ square meters with work tables, loungers and small clusters around low tables, all within a few minutes’ walk of most domestic and Schengen gates in T1. Wi‑Fi is free and generally fast enough for VPN and video calls, but one FlyerTalk user notes that power outlets run short at peak Aegean departure banks around morning and early evening.

What regulars do: they enter, grab hot food first before a new batch is picked over, then move to the quieter corners away from the buffet line to work. If your flight departs from a far Schengen gate, set a hard “leave by” time on your phone; SKG walks are short, but it’s easy to lose 30 minutes here without noticing.
