Very large lounge conveniently next to the baggage inspection exit.

Upon entering I make my way straight to the welcoming showers where I relax under the hot, soothing water.

15 mins later, and fully refreshed, I help myself to a selection from the hot buffet – Thai red curry, chili con carne, creamy mushroom penne, and some salad, all complemented with a couple of glasses of European reds.

Internet is strong, ambience pleasant (French accordion music) and very bright (naturally) at 7pm.

I go to the gate 30 mins before it closes.
