This brand new lounge deserves a brand new review, right?
A Lounge Dragon pro-actively went towards me, as soon as I approached the Ultimate area. We had a chat about the lounge, and this one at LYS is to be of the same level as the AF lounges in BOD, MPL or ORY: regional lounges, not "business" lounges like in CDG.
