WHAT´S IN IT FOR ME?
So, what is behind the smiling ladies checking you in at the entrance of the lounge? The best thing is usually that it is quiet. You acn sit down. Charge your phone. Work on your laptop or pad. The selection of food and drink is limited, but usually satisfying: Softdrinks, beer and wine. Snacks, salads, sandwiches or a soup. And a clean bathroom.
