For the next leg of our trip, we were flying from Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to Podgorica Airport (TGD) on Air Montenegro. The airline does not provide lounge access, but I could enter thanks to the Plaza Premium Lounge access granted through Priority Pass. It’s a nice space and we really enjoyed the pasta for lunch before our flight.
Anthony’s Take: This lounge was modern, comfortable, and provided a nice lunch spread. We enjoyed the meal and left filled with carbs from the multiple pasta options. The Plaza Premium Lounge has showers, a pay bar (soft drinks are free), Wi-Fi, and lots of space. I would definitely return in the future.

Tables around the buffet
More workstations
Seating near the entrance
Etihad passengers had their own designated/roped-off area.

Overall Impression:
This lounge was the perfect spot before our short flight to Montenegro. It was spacious and I can’t say enough about how well the pasta hit the spot (even departing Italy after eating tons of pasta for several days in a row).
