Mikey Mike Mike,
totally agree with what you have written.
We used the 'old' lounge in July , no complaints what so ever, great food, lovely staff and amazing views over the runway, we were very impressed.
We used the PP Lounge in January and thought it was dire, lounge was packed, and one of the most uninspiring lounges I have ever used.
All being well, we will passing through in April and I was hoping the 'old' lounge would be re opened by then, but it doesn't sound as if it will be.
I will report back with an update.
Anne
