Fiumicino's Plaza Premium Lounge is the best independent lounge in the world: here are the other VIP lounges awarded by Skytrax

That it is one of the best independent lounges in the world has been a certainty for years, but as of today the Plaza Premium Lounge at T3 Fiumicino can boast of having been appointed the absolute #1 Leaving all the competition behind.

The world's best independent lounges

These are the lounges where one gets in not because of status or a business class ticket, but because of cards such as Priority Pass, credit cards, and similar channels. In many airports they are the only safe haven that saves the passenger from sitting on an uncomfortable bench or spending tens of euros in restaurants for a sandwich. Entry rules vary from hall to hall, but these are the ones where it is generally easiest to enter also because there is no constraint related to a particular vector.

Here are the final top 5 rankings:

1. Plaza Premium - FCO (not specified, but it is the lounge at T3 not of the most recent at T1)
2. America Express Centurion - JFK
3. Pearl Lounge - BAH
4. Sapphire Lounge by The Club - LGA
5. Plaza Premium - DXB

I admit to having my own preferences and was surprised at the "disappearance" from the top 5 of one of the most beautiful lounges I have ever seen, the Muscat Primeclass, but having never visited three of the 5 awardees it is possible that I may have to update my ratings.

That of the network Plaza Premium at the recent Skywards Awards was a real triumph as in addition to the Rome Fiumicino award it also won the title of best independent lounge operator in the world, and it's an over-deserved title because in every corner of the world where I've been Few times have this sign's lounges disappointed me.

The best business class lounge is Qatar's

The best company in the world, in the best airport in the world, could not fail to triumph in the ranking of the best official lounges as well. In this case, I can only agree 100% on this award. Not only because of the spacious lounges that QR offers its most prized passengers in Doha, such as the beautiful Al Mourjan The Garden but especially for what Qatar offers away from its home as in Bangkok o Singapore Where it really draws an incredible groove with all the rest of the companies.

Air France always the best for La Premiere passengers

Air France, sooner or later, will have to widen the wall because the Skytrax Awards in the lounge of La Premiere awarded again this year with the title of best culinary proposal, and I can only agree and if you have no idea what this lounge offers you only need to look at the first part of my review.

Star Alliance wins award for best lounge in an alliance

The lounge Star Alliance at Terminal 1 in Paris, on the other hand, was honored as the best hall for an airline in the world. Again, I have never visited this lounge, but if ITA switches to this new alliance it will be a pleasure to move from T2, where today there are no lounges for passengers of the Italian company, to take advantage of the best lounge in the world.
