Accessing Priority Pass lounge before check-in

[DaKober]

I will be travelling from Israel to Canada in 2 weeks, and my trip is 2 seperate legs - a flight from Israel to Warsaw, and then Warsaw to Canada. These are 2 seperate flights, not a connecting flight. Meaning, after I disembark in Warsaw I need to go collect my luggage and then wait for check-in to open to be able to access a lounge, and in my case it is a 7 hour wait (and last time I was in Warsaw, on the way here, check-in only opened 2 hours before the flight and I had a 9 hour wait, so I was waiting outside check-in for 7 hours).

So my question is, is there a way for me to access lounges before I check in?

Thanks!

For reference - I am flying Sundor to Warsaw, and then LOT from Warsaw.

Can you do online check-in and get a mobile boarding pass?

Hmm I'll check, that would let me check in before check in opens?

Online check-in is usually from 24 hours before the flight and you get the boarding pass instantly so I don't see why it shouldn't work

Good point..... I missed the part about the luggage

IIRC there are luggage lockers somewhere in WAW.

What time will you be in Warsaw?  Maybe you can tour a bit.

I have to pick it up from regular luggage collection, then I have to wait untill check-in opens to check it in (that is my understanding, at least). I think they also have places that you can pay to watch your luggage for you.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience flying.

On my way here I had to wait until check-in opened (2 hours before the flight), when I got a boarding pass with online check-in I would be able to check in my luggage and go to security 7 hours before the flight takes off? I have no idea how airports work, all I know is that on my way here I had to wait until the check-in area opened.

You have any ideas? I just realized that I miscalculated and I have a 9 hour layover (not 7), from 8:20am to 5:00pm, so I have plenty of time. Even if there is just a cool/quiet shul that I can hang out in, and maybe a kosher resteraunt to check out.

You can drop your luggage at a Bounce facility- they have lots of locations and charge a minimal fee.

You can tour the Jewish Cemetery, Polin- the Jewish museum, and check out the Old Town.
