IOA · Compact Ioannina HCAA field 5 km from the city with published €1.20 bus and ~€7 taxi pricing, but no Priority Pass lounge and only a Bar on the official services list.
CFU · A compact Fraport Greece leisure gateway almost in Corfu Town — strong blue-bus/taxi access and solid summer F&B, undercut by seasonal Extra-Schengen-only lounge access and peak-summer queue pressure.

In Jul–Aug arrive when check-in opens (often 2.5–3 hours before departure); winter/shoulder 2 hours is usually enough for domestics.
One campus — Extra-Schengen decides whether you even have a lounge
Single Fraport Greece terminal; confirm Schengen vs Extra-Schengen before you climb to Level 1 for Goldair — Intra-Schengen has no lounge.
Named cafés beat “mystery snack bar” — still not a destination meal
Burger King, Everest, Pret, French Bakery, Il Maestro, and duty free cover calories; eat a real meal in Corfu Town when the schedule allows.
