Brussels Airlines "The Loft" at BRU - Schengen A-Pier lounge
The new Brussels Airlines lounge, called "the loft" will open friday oct 24. It'll be much larger than the old lounge and promises an offer focused on Belgian specialties. I for one hope they dramatically improve the catering offer.

First photo's look promising.
Partnership with Microsoft: Lync equipped meeting room + Surface Tablets on loan.
Some pictures from Twitter #theloftbru
I will be there end of next week, so somebody will beat me with a first report.

The layout:
I don't recall the old lounge being this big. Where did they find the space?

It's not using the "connector" (that just has a roof on). Seems they've merged the old SN lounge + the Diamond lounge (+ maybe some office space), creating a large space with windows on both sides.

SN press release also loaded on their website.
Didn't they promise a separate SEN area? Or was I only led to believe that. Nothing from the map posted here.

I am at least glad the dump, also known as the temporary lounge, will now be closed. Not a seat to be found yesterday, as always.

M&M FTL also get access when flying on LH, SN, OS, LX and other members of the group.
When flying SN Flex&Fast (flexible economy, shorthaul) or Economy+ (longhaul) , you can buy access for €25.

I don't need a meeting room at the airport (airside) that often, but it is a nice gesture indeed. Wonder how long it will take before this is enhanced away due to lack of demand...
