Priority Pass Lounges at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport

Wishing your Italian journey could start with a little more ease—and a lot more espresso? At Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), your Priority Pass membership offers exactly that. Nestled in the heart of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region—famous for tortellini, balsamic vinegar, and fast cars—this lounge sets the tone with both style and substance. While Bologna Airport doesn’t offer dining credits, the Marconi Business Lounge delivers comfort, connectivity, and a true Italian welcome, all before you’ve even cleared security.

Marconi Business Lounge

Located landside on the first floor before security checks, the Marconi Business Lounge is open daily from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, making it ideal for early risers and evening travelers alike. Access is available via Priority Pass, airline status, or by paying €33 at the door or online.

Inside, the space is sleek and quiet, featuring soft leather seating, air conditioning, and an overall atmosphere that balances modern minimalism with that unmistakable Italian flair.

The buffet offers a light but satisfying spread—expect fresh pastries, sandwiches, mixed nuts, and sweet biscotti, alongside local Lambrusco wine and Peroni beer, which are the only alcoholic beverages served. Complimentary soft drinks, espresso, and sparkling water round out your options. If you’re traveling with little ones, children under 10 enter free with an adult. You’ll also enjoy free Wi-Fi, press services, and business-friendly amenities, including conference rooms and office stations.

One of the lounge’s most impressive features is the Fast Track Security Service, which lets you zip through security directly from the lounge between 5:30 AM and 7:00 PM—a perk that feels almost too good to be true when the terminal is busy.

Need help with ground transportation? The concierge desk can arrange taxis, private chauffeurs, or valet parking. In short, it’s a chic, efficient escape that lets you savor your final moments in Bologna with all the grace of an Italian farewell.
