Functional business lounge, not really First Class. A few sandwiches a decent selection of alcohol and a few armchairs.

Walked in, took one look around and left again. Smelled of hot cheese and feet. One long row of tables in a corridor with no sense of relaxation.

The business class lounge wasn’t much better – awkward layout, terrible food options, very drab decor.

Absolutely abysmal! Tiny area, no free seats. Used Business lounge instead – no space either, but sal in (closed) dining area. Wifi awfully slow. No champagne. Wish we had spent another 2 hours in the city instead of sitting in this depresssing place!
