The airport in Tallinn, Estonia has just one lounge — and fortunately, it’s open to Priority Pass holders. (The airport itself is nothing to write home about.) I flew through in January 2024, and the Tallinn Airport Business Lounge was closed for renovation. However, there’s a temporary replacement: the Business reLounge.
First impressions of the Priority Pass Lounge in Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn’s temporary Priority Pass lounge is tucked away in the corner of the airport, after security and near the smoking area. (Don’t worry, the smell doesn’t filter in.) To get there, follow the signs to the smoking area; the lounge is on the left side.
Tallinn Priority Pass lounge: The good
- Multiple seating options. You can choose from little covered seats, tables, or cozy fabric chairs. I liked the little seating areas tucked away in alcoves; they felt cozy and comfortable.
- Clean space. The Tallinn lounge is small, but very clean.
- Efficient staff. I was in the lounge for about two hours, and the staff were extremely quick to clean up tables after travelers left. That makes such a big difference, especially in a small lounge.
Tallinn Priority Pass lounge: The bad
- Fabric walls. This is a temporary lounge, so the walls are made from thick fabric curtains. That doesn’t make a big difference, considering that the Tallinn airport is pretty quiet. At one point, a screaming child passed by, and his shrieks reverberated through the lounge. I don’t know if this airport ever gets busy, but if it does, watch out!
- Unpleasant smell. The lounge has a distinct smell of sewage. It’s unpleasant, but not overwhelming.
- Limited food and drink selection. You can choose from a selection of pastries and Nordic style light snacks (including smørrebrød). There’s also a coffee machine, coolers with beer and soft drinks, and a tiny selection of wine and liquor. Honestly, this didn’t really bother me, given the small size of the lounge.
Who uses the Priority Pass Lounge in the airport in Tallinn, Estonia?
When I was in the lounge, most travelers looked like professionals — they were largely dressed in smart but not formal attire. There were also a few casually dressed people, including a mom with a child and a guy in a hoodie and jeans. It doesn’t seem that this Priority Pass lounge enforces a dress code.
Is the Tallinn Priority Pass Lounge worth visiting?
If you have unlimited visits, absolutely. If not, I’d advise you not to waste a visit on this Priority Pass lounge. The Tallinn airport is nothing special, but there are a few places to eat and drink that are undoubtedly better than the lounge snacks.
