CONCLUSION

This is a huge lounge with a seating capacity of more than 600 passengers. The lower floor has the bar and several seating areas while the upper floor has the dining area, business center, sleeping rooms and showers. I thought the design is although an upgrade would not hurt. The food and drinks offering are very good, and the noodles with beef I ordered from the noodle bar was very good. I visited the lounge in the morning before our 10:05am flight to Zurich and luckily there was not much guests then. Overall, a nice lounge to visit before your flight.
