By its very nature that means a lounge exactly as long as the concourse you're in, which is nearly 950 meters. So you will have lots of empty open spaces making the place feel as dead as a morgue. At the far ends you can look down into the F lounge below and it looked as dead as the J lounge - but then very few people would venture that far unless their gates are at the end.

The B Concourse J lounge of course is from a time before they wanted direct access to the top deck and you have to go down to get on your aircraft. It is still a very long and impersonal lounge in my book.

The DBX J lounges are strange places. Two hours max in there (as suggested above) is about right in my book.
