CONCLUSION

This lounge has been renovated and reopened later last year so I was eager to visit it and make comparison to the Finnair Lounge Non Schengen I have visited a few times. I would say that this lounge is pretty much like the one in the non-Schengen area except for that the design is much simpler and the food offerings may be not that great. During lunch time, they were serving rice, coq au vin and vegetable cheese soup which tasted good. It was also crowded during my visit which was around 3-4pm. Lastly, I thought that the toilet for the men was too small and that they could have made a bigger one considering the number of passengers that come to this lounge during peak hours. Overall, a nice lounge.
