Amenities

The lounge is very bright and the design tries to give a futuristic touch with traditional values. With wooden elements, the lounge is classic and pleasantly friendly.

A positive surprise is that every seat has a socket with a Swiss and UK power connection and USB plug.

Unfortunately, the toilets are accessible in the corridor for all passengers and all lounges.

A Wifi code is handed out right at the entrance, which is very convenient.

The selection of soft drinks, hot drinks and alcohol is generous. The food is of good quality and covers delicious regional specialties as well as an international touch.

In the lounge there are several screens showing the departures, so it is very clear, for British Airways flights a boarding announcement is made, as passport control is still pending.
