Of course I noticed! There's a picture of it in my post
Unless you are talking about something different?
I agree about the headrests. Actually, that's something I failed to mention in any detail. The A320's headrests had adjustable wings and vertical adjustment as well. Basically what many carriers have on their newer aircraft. Definitely better for sleeping. Also, I think the "usable" pitch on the A320 is greater. The seat-to-seat distance may actually be the same between the 320 and 735, but since the 320's seats are slimline there is more space.
That said, even though I'm >6 feet tall, as long as the legroom is adequate, it's all about width for me, and I just felt I was in a more spacious seat in the 737-500.

I was trying to recall this... the first time I flew from PRG, it was PRG-AMS but we used what is today the non-Schengen Crystal Lounge. In 2007 on PRG-AMS we used the (newer?) Schengen Crystal Lounge. Could that be right?
Anyway, I much prefer (what is today) the non-Schengen lounge.
I guess I don't find the décor that calming either, but I still like the lounge very much and stack it up against just about any other Skyteam lounge I've visited in terms of comfort, convenience, ambience, etc.
Thanks for the kind words and the reply! More on the way about Cyprus, flying Cyprus Airways, and Greece.
