Updating this thread:

Skyview lounge, which is still used by AF/KL, has just got an expansion. As part of the overally T1 refurbishment, another section has been added to lounge. It is half a floor higher (same as toilet/shower, but clearly apart) and seats approximately 60 pax, in much lesser density than downstairs. It has its own food and drinks bar, 6 computer stations and 2 TVs - what it lacks is the view. The food/drinks are the same quality, but slightly different selection from downstairs. There is no dedication, i.e. it is open to all pax qualifying for Skyview admission.

I'm just sitting in this new section and a I really like it. O.k., it's not the BA/QF first class section - but it it nice, food is good and staff is friendly.
