Also, the food seems to have been upgraded in the C section, for tonight, they are offering Fleischkäse (meat loaf) - chopped down into pieces - along with beetroot and potato salad.
It was already closed down on Thursday, 21st, with exactly the same food on offer. Meat loaf with potato salad.
Horribly packed.
The LX SEN D lounge did offer the same (two) hot options as usual, and the Panorama also had two hot options as usual (different ones than the SEN)
As the A lounge is now even more crowded with the lower SEN part gone, I would strongly suggest to go directly to either SEN in D or Panorama straight away, if you're flying to a Non-Schengen destination.
By the way, I found the meat loaf to be of very low quality.
