The Caproni Lounge has become the Pearl Lounge (working link: https://www.bts.aero/sluzby/vip-...rl-lounge/; but you won't find a mention of it on the operator's website, I guess they're ashamed of it 😂) and is trying to find a new low according to reviews.
There's a shower in the basement of the terminal as well as a toilet, but I'm not sure if it's functional - the staircase to it was blocked off yesterday.
They did introduce deposit beverage containers in Slovakia, but for some mysterious reason the businesses at the airport that will sell them to you refuse to accept the containers and refund the deposit.
The not-so-cheap sámoška stands out, apparently, for its eastern staff, who have somehow learned Slovak but no longer understand Czech.
There is also a bitcoin machine at the airport.
There's a smoking room by the gates behind the passport office, unfortunately some idiot locks the door to it in the open position with a fire extinguisher, so he makes a smoking room out of the surrounding gates. I've never seen that anywhere else, probably some new evil tradition.
If someone could advise me the shortest way from the airport to the Golden Sands swimming pool, I would be grateful. I already know the circuitous route through the social hostel and someone else's garden. 😂

Prazdne obaly sa vracaju na stanovene sampling places/flaskomaty. Businesses do not return the deposit.
That's a pretty stupid system compared to Scandinavia, for example. I haven't seen a bottle machine anywhere in the airport. By the way, there's a sign in the convenience store saying that the business doesn't have to take back the wrappers, not that they never take them back as a matter of principle. :)
