I thought you could pretty much do what you want. Many thanks for confirming.
Maybe just sneak in one more qustion...I am thinking of getting to the lounge early, like 4/5 hours before flight. I got to LHR 4 hours before and absolutely loved boinging round the lounges - wish I'd had longer. I am however fully aware that there is no CCR, spa etc at Newark. So question is are lounges a bit rubbish there and not really worth that much time?
