The price was reasonable, so I made my way in and found a comfy chair to sit in. The food selection was alright - it was fresh, but I missed some of the variety that I've found at other lounges. Seating was adequate and included an array of different seats (tables, easy chairs, working nooks). Showers were available (I don't take one), and bathrooms were clean. It's nice to relax pre-flight in a place that is not as hectic as the general concourse, and Plaza Premium was just the place to do so on our last trip.

Granted, this is a free lounge with the Priority Pass, but it is probably one of the most mediocre airport lounges I have been to. Don't get me wrong, I would come here again if I flew out of Terminal 3 area D because I would get in for free, and I love my free stu. However, it is just a notch higher than a general waiting area with the added drinks and food.

Not particularly a gourmet stop, but hey, what do you expect at the airport? Besides, Fiumicino is huge and full of coffee shops and food kiosks, one can easily find whatever their soul desires.

They keep fruit and yogurt behind a glass case. You have to ask for those items. Plus, you have to ask for a glass of water. That's kept behind the counter, too. Bad chairs. They are worn and completely deflated. When you sit the arms of the chairs practically touch your shoulders because you are so low. When you log in to get WiFi access, a page asks you to fill out a survey BEFOREHAND. Of course that means that unless you have mobile data, you CAN'T fill it out. Luckily I did, and one of the questions was how WiFi access is. I can't make this up. First world problem, I know. They do make a mean Lavazza cappuccino though.

"American breakfast". - cold and I mean straight out of fridge scrambled style egg with some spinach and cold mushrooms. Something that resembles bacon, but again questionable. Extremely disappointed. Sorry but when traveling upper class, the fee of the ticket covers an amenity of a lounge with small plates (or large), some kind of snack and lots of drinks that should be poured endlessly. The poor guy behind this counter was charged with serving both coffee / espresso drinks, juice, milk and booze. This is definitely not "happy hour".

The…read morebreakfast was decent and the lunch was filled with salad, meats, cheese, toasted bread, freshly made pizza and Italian soup. I liked the variety. Breakfast had scrambled eggs and bacon along with prosciutto. They make very strong coffee behind the bar. I think this was a terrible lounge before the renovation. Now all fixed up and it's very neat to see that the review has not reflected the update. I would rate this higher than most of the lounges I've been too, considering how new and less crowded it is. At lunch time families start to show up with little kids and it does get very crowded and noisy. As a business traveler with two teenage kids, I understand the concept of raising children, but now that I'm older and have kids who are quiet as mouse, I can't stand the noise as it's difficult to work. That's the only complaint about this lounge. They should have a quiet area and one for work area. But then again, not everyone can get into Polaris lounge where it does not allow family unless you all travel in business class, which we did.

Wifi worked great, the seating areas were comfortable, and the bathroom was notably small with two stalls and a shower but it was very clean.

Lots of seating and dining options including some surprisingly inexpensive choices. I got a plate of sliced porchetta, just the meat, for just over €5. Very satisfying. The environment in T3, especially the upper dining floor, is cool, airy with lots of space, and surprisingly subdued in tone despite the volume of people. Relaxing, even! It's a little nerve wracking that the gates are announced so late, 30-45 minutes before boarding, but it's not much of a gauntlet to get to one's gate. T1 and T3 are easily accessible from the train. If you're looking for a last minute postcard drop, there are mailboxes inside T1 at the main departures level, just ask the person at the info booth. Check-in both times went smoothly and the service was courteous. Would appreciate this kind of service in North America. You can given bring up to 2L of liquids through security, gasp! Great airport.

Let me clear my throat. You can't be too annoyed at an airport that doesn't lose your luggage and…read moregets you from point A to point B safely; however, my word of wisdom--and what I believe would truly elevate the experience--is stronger, clearer communication. My husband and I arrived at the airport 4.5 hours before our flight and immediately went to the Turkish Airlines counter to check our bags before heading to the VAT tax counter to handle other business. As we approached the counter, no one was there. It was completely desolate. We looked around, checked underneath the counters, peered behind the computer monitors--calling on all angels to locate a human being. We waited about 20 minutes, and during that time, other travelers approached us asking if this was the correct counter, whether the airline was operating, and if anyone was coming. We had no answers either. Eventually, I walked to another counter to inquire about what was happening. That's when we were informed that Turkish Airlines staff do not arrive until three hours before departure. Let me be clear--who would reasonably know that other than employees or someone who has previously experienced this? A simple sign stating, "Counter opens at ____," would have resolved the confusion instantly. Airports are already high-stress environments. Travelers are navigating time constraints, security lines, and tight schedules. Clear signage isn't a luxury--it's basic customer care. A small communication effort would make a significant difference. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Got here early for our flight and experienced both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Morning staff was super friendly and in a great mood. Gluten free options are crackers, bread, muffin, and a cake all prepackaged. If you can get yo the good first, the veggies, cheese, and salami are options. But if you aren't first there's risk of cross contamination. Plenty of seats with charging options. A/C is minimal so sit in the booth chairs: there's a vent by your feet.
