Prologue:

Hello and welcome to another nostalgic TR dating back to 2016 when I flew A3 for the first time.

I presented my boarding pass along with my TK Gold card and was welcomed inside by the receptionist. I entered through the left and came upon the seating area.

If you go right after reception you come to the buffet area where local Greek products are promoted.

Attendants kept the place tidy and there were an assortment of snacks to please everyone's taste. I particularly enjoyed the warm pastries like feta and spinach (spanakopita).

Interior with metal chairs at some tables. I think these were an eyesore and did not harmonize with the decor of the lounge.

The only view from the lounge is of the outside of the airport not the tarmac.

My snacks.

This lounge is conveniently located next to the Aegean one but it seems smaller in comparison. However it provided some real dishes and not just snacks which was appreciated. The dining area was very full and I was lucky to get a an empty table when I entered. The receptionist was friendly and upon presenting my boarding pass she invited me to come in through the left side.

Summary:

The A3 lounge at ATH is a nice and relaxing place to spend some time before the trip. Catering is OK with a wide assortment of snacks but no real hot food. Too bad that the only view is of the exterior of the airport and not the tarmac.

Flying A3 for the first time was a great experience. The inflight crew looked sharp and the attitude was professional and friendly. Catering is excellent and in my opinion is in the league of TK. It's no surprise that A3 has been named "Best Regional Carrier" by Skytrax. The only con is the cabin seat which i found a bit thinner than competitors.
