lockers provided at the entrance of the loft

If one looks around when walking in at the entrance area -before entering the lounge proper- , I counted at least 30 lockers where you can stow all the important laptops, Ipads , coats, handbags etc to prevent clogging up other peoples personal space . There is soo much space in this lounge which will never be as full of travellers as the bus. lounges in FRA or ZUR considering the far smaller amounts of bussiness people with lots of loitering time flying from terminal A compared to FRA or ZUR ...Very few people seem to hang around this lounge longer than 1 hour as the transit times are shorter in BRU- for the few transiting from B to A terminal - and more importantly the types of planes flying from this terminal are mostly regional BAE jumbolino or airbus 320-types so probably about 10 visitors per planeload to be expected.Most O&D come in to BRU at the last moment from downtown with little time or interest for the lounges ...
