On the other hand, I have been know to have breakfast, lunch and early dinner in the CCR as we used to have a choice of a connecting flight with about 9 hours or 1 with about 2 , which was regularly cancelled.
It wasnt hard to while away the time.
Now the typical connection for us is about 4 hours which is ideal to get a spa slot, dine, have a drink and saunter to the plane.
