I would normally be surprised by this but in recent months BHD has just got busier and and busier. It's crazy how many status passengers use this route.

I thought with the introduction of Ryanair to LGW along with multiple easyjet and Aer Lingus routes to London, along with the BMI status match ease off, that the lounge would calm, but on Tuesday last week, prior to the 7amish departure, I counted 81 passengers in the lounge on a A319 flight - imagine a Monday morning.

And it's a small lounge.
