Our trip home from the Southern France started in the Nice Airport Terminal 2. Our first stop is Amsterdam on a KLM 737, while I didn’t review that product this trip, here’s a previous review I did of KLM 737 short haul business class. We had a little time to kill so we decided to check out and review The Infinity Lounge here at NCE.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Location
After passing through security here at NCE Terminal 2, we departed through the gift shop(Duty Free). We then made a left and walked towards the end of the terminal.
Towards the end of the terminal, in Zone A, The Infinity Lounge entrance is on the departures level. This lounge is in the Schengen area. So if you’re flight is departing to somewhere outside of the Schengen area, proceed through immigration, this lounge will not be available to you. Inside the doors are stairs to take you up to the lounge check in desk.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Entry Requirements
The Infinity Lounge at the Nice Airport is a contract lounge. They accept a wide range of entry credentials such as Priority Pass. They are also the lounge for many airline business class passengers. Today, we’re entering the lounge using our KLM business class boarding passes as KLM has an agreement with the Infinity Lounge.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Seating Arrangement
We walked into a nearly empty Infinity Lounge here in Nice(NCE). I was somewhat surprised as the past few months, lounges have been extremely busy. This was a nice change of pace.
The Infinity Lounge is a large space divided up into lots of smaller sitting areas. I was surprised at the size of the lounge too, I wasn’t expecting to have so much space.
As the Infinity Lounge is on the second floor, it looks out over the general terminal area. There aren’t any amazing views of the airplanes, but it’s a slightly better vantage point than in the regular waiting area.
Lots of smaller seating areas with somewhat comfortable chairs. Near each seat we found power to charge our devices.
There were a few different types of seating in The Infinity Lounge but these hanging bird cage style were the most unique. I’m not sure they would be my first choice but some people were using them a little bit further down.
We settled into a set of chairs near the windows towards the back of the lounge. We could see our boarding gate from here so that was a nice little advantage.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Food and Drink
We visited the Infinity Lounge very early in the morning so they had a breakfast spread out at the buffet. Nothing ground breaking here and there were no hot dishes, just pastries, meats, and cheeses. At the end were a selection of beer, wine, and liquor, but it’s like 7am so I’ll pass for now.
There were a few cold items in the fridge here. The buffet was well stocked and kept clean through our stay.
Self service tea and coffee was also available.
My breakfast for the morning. The second coffee was for Val.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Pool Table
In the back of the Infinity Lounge here at NCE, all the way in the back on the right hand side is a pool table. This is a somewhat unique feature that I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a lounge before. It was early so we didn’t shoot, but I could see this being a cool place to kill a little time before a flight.
Infinity Lounge Nice Airport Final Thoughts
The Infinity Lounge here at Nice is actually a pretty nice place to hang out before a departure. Just keep in mind this lounge is only for Terminal 2 Schengen departures. The it’s a short walk to this lounge from pretty much anywhere in the A area of NCE Terminal 2.
While we visited the lounge very early in the morning, it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed how large the space was and yet it felt somewhat private as the space is broken up. The view down to the main terminal is a nice feature, made the space feel more open.
The buffet selection wasn’t amazing, we were only here for breakfast, so I cannot comment on the offerings later in the day, but my guess is similar in scale. I did like the uniqueness of the pool table, had it been later in the day, I’d probably shoot a little.
At the end of the day, the Infinity Lounge here at Nice is a good way to spend some time before a flight. It’s certainly not a destination, but I’d have no issue returning. After about 45 minutes it was time for us to head back to Toronto Via AMS.
