Thanks. That's true for the business lounge. Although I would say that 50s is quite empty in the morning, although 40s always seems kind of busy. For the business lounge it's worth the detour to not be in the basement. I just made it a habit to go to 40s because of the Euro flights and then I do the same when I fly UA to the US.
