Nice (NCE) Airport Lounge, Not All that Nice…

by Adam Last updated December 2, 2013

This is part six of a twelve part trip report from my travels to Prague, Nice, Bratislava, Sorrento, and Rome. This trip picture report covers my experience at the Nice Côte d’Azur Lounge.

I was flying from Nice (NCE) back to Prague (PRG) on Czech Airlines and used my Delta Platinum status to gain entry to the lounge. Don’t worry if you don’t have status though, there was no one manning the check-in desk the entire time I was at the lounge. The lounge itself was quite small but did have a few areas of somewhat worn leather seats, an interesting food selection, and a more than adequate wine, champagne, spirits, and juices selection.

Two of the more surprising misses for a lounge located in such a wealthy destination, there were no outlets by any of the seats and only a one person bathroom! There were a few outlets located near the entrance wall and back wall, but otherwise there was no charging areas in the entire lounge.

“Local Nice Specialties” included tapenade, tomato spread, pesto, and local olive oil.

Certainly not one of the best lounges, but for the most intra-Europe flights, more than adequate. Also nice that the lounge is located quite centrally within the departures area. I’d stay away from the sandwiches and older baked goods that looked like they had been there all day long.

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.
