      This lounge shows it age with the interior a little outdated, but still a nice place with enough seating and a restaurant area.

      Nice choice of food (buffet and a la carte) and great selection of beverages.

      Free Wifi, business centre, nice bathrooms.

      Not really a flagship lounge since the interiour is much older than the admirals club nearby. You cannot even call it classic style. But ample amount of seating available.

      Breakfast selection looked good, choice of beverages as well..

      Business centre, newspapers and magazines, free WIFI. Restrooms are outside the lounge – shared with the admirals club.

      The interiour is old and not as fresh and modern as the Admirals Club next door. There is plenty of seating in different areas, but the place was quite crowded and there is no apron view.

      The choice of food and beverages was ok, but nothing that you would call first class.

      There is free WIFI, a TV room, small business centre with copymachine and printer, flight information display and some newspapers and magazines. Restrooms are outside and shared with the Admirals Club.
