In recent weeks we wrote about the closure - from May 26 until mid-September - of the Marconi Business Lounge, the VIP lounge at Bologna Airport (BLQ), which has undergone a major work of restyling.
In this article:
So indeed it was, the lounge has closed, and now there is some news that closely affects the frequent flyer.
The special feature of the Bologna lounge, similar to those in Bergamo and Genoa, was that it also allowed visitors to take advantage of a quick passage to get to the security checkpoints. With the closure for construction, passengers have lost this option
Until the end of the work then the company that runs the airport in Emilia decided to reserve the Fast Track route only for premium passengers, that is, those who fly business class and those who have an elite status that guarantees this service. On the contrary, however, all users who, until May 26, could take advantage of the service by passing through the lounge are excluded, a nasty surprise that many have reported to us in recent hours.

As one sign at the airport reads: "to avoid long waits, only passengers designated by the airlines will be able to benefit from the fast track To enter the boarding hall. Holders of Priority Pass or credit card American Express, Master Card o Visa temporarily will not be able to take advantage of Of fast track service."
Certainly the closure of the lounge represents a real inconvenience for many travelers, but the work is necessary to then take advantage of a renovated, state-of-the-art space.
Opened in the February 2006, the VIP room It will in fact reopen by the end of September with a new look, new services and a completely revamped experience in step with the highest international standards.
