During my visit to Yerevan, Armenia, I was invited to visit the Converse Bank Business Lounge. Here’s my review.

Location

Zvartnots International Airport serving Yerevan, Armenia features two terminals. Our flight departed from the newer, modern terminal. Arrival from the city center is available easily by GG Taxi or Yandex Taxi (see my review of Yandex Go here.) For those traveling by bus, hourly departures run the 20-30 minute drive to and from Republic Square from midnight until 6 am, the same bus (201) runs on the half-hour from 6 am to midnight – the cost of this airport transfer is 300 AMD (about $0.66 at the time of writing.)

Entrance to the lounge is found following passport control inside the duty-free shop via stairs or an elevator.

Entry Requirements

Lounge access is limited to business class customers, select Converse Bank customers and those who choose to purchase access through LoungeBuddy. For those who utilize access through Lounge Buddy, the cost is $36/person and the duration is three hours.

For those who hold Priority Pass or Priority Pass Select (available through several credit cards – some of which are available here) access is permitted. For most Select members, this would include a guest, and possibly a child as well. The Converse Business Lounge offers its own wi fi access, far superior to that available from the airport generally.

For those considering a shower, I’d recommend waiting until you arrive at your destination. It appears cleaner in my photos than in person.

Seating

Spanning nearly the length of the terminal, the lounge is long and narrow. Space for small groups of travelers with chairs and tables flank either side of the entrance. To the left of the checkin counter, an enclosed box allows for those who wish to work quietly.  Smoking is permitted in some parts of the lounge.

Chairs at a communal table line the glass walls overlooking the terminals with power ports. Particularly helpful at the Yerevan Airport Business Lounge are a series of chaise lounges that allow for rest. This is important as many of the flights from Europe into Yerevan arrive in the very early morning hours (3-6 am) and depart after a quick turn. These seats allow for much needed rest from travelers who didn’t get a full night before their departure.

Food

Small sandwiches and pastries were available on both sides of the lounge. Charcuteries and fresh fruit was also available in limited supply as were packaged food items. A limited but sufficient bar for both hard and soft drinks was available too along with a coffee machine.

    We went there in August of 2019. The flight left at an ungodly hour but we found a long couch to lay down on to the left all the way down in a TV room. There was a family arguing and kids crying but the main thing was to stretch out as we were flying to Chicago via Vienna. There was an assortment of mini snacks and coffee as well as a self-service bar with top shelf liquor and wine with tables nearby. The club was on the second floor overlooking the gates . Thus you only a short distance to walk so you could wait and board at your leisure.

    I used this lounge many times in 2014/2015. It looks like it has extended in size and added the comfy chairs but the F&B looks about the same.

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
