Review: Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge (TLL)
The Baltics part of my recent European trip ended in Estonia. Afterwards, I flew down to the Balkans starting in Slovenia with Turkish Airlines in economy that seemed to be the most sensible option from Tallinn.
After checking out from Hotel Telegraaf in the morning, I head down to the airport and visited TLL’s sole lounge called the LHV Lounge.
How to get into LHV Lounge in TLL
The lounge is on the airside after security check. Simply follow the signs that points to a lounge, and you’ll eventually see the LHV lounge sign by a staircase.
I was able to get access with a Priority Pass Select from one of my premium credit cards. Alternatively, you can buy a 3-hour pass for 45 Euro which I wouldn’t recommend. Business Class passengers will get complimentary access and members of other lounge networks like DragonPass and LoungeKey can get in as well.
The lounge opens from 4:30AM to 10PM.
Inside LHV Lounge in TLL
The lounge inside has a clean look with wood finishes complimented with green plants. There are plenty of plush comfortable sofas.
You can also enjoy an open wide view of the runway and terminals outside. There are low stools and low tables by the window.
While I did not try the food in the lounge after eating full breakfast at Hotel Telegraaf, the lounge has self-serve stations of bites and drinks. There are coffee machines, salad bar, wrap stations,
There’s supposedly a hot food tray but it wasn’t on, and probably will have food some time during lunch.
There’s a semi-secluded kids’ area with a high chair and TV and a meeting nearby.
Across the meeting room is a pair of wall racks that can help you with stretching exercises. However, don’t try to do pull-ups on them!
Then, I checked out the bathroom which was clean and well-maintained. The hand dryer is conveniently combined with the faucets.
Conclusion
TLL’s LHV Lounge is a decent place to relax in before your upcoming flight. The insides are clean and offer good view of the runway. I could not comment on how the food was since I was full from the hotel’s breakfast (morning section seems limited anyway), but you can enjoy free drinks still if you’re not hungry. It’s the only lounge of the airport so it’s already better than waiting at the gates by default.
