Any other hints or tips also appreciated.
On my return I'll be departing with easyjet with a long transit. It's been a couple of years, but I recall dropping off my bags in a locker, passing through security and using a lounge before returning to my bags via an arrivals route, picking them up and checking in with U2. No lounge access after that. Is that still possible/practical?
The BA and Aspire non-Schengen lounges are next to each other so neither is positioned better or worse.
I don't recall the BA lounge having a smoking room. The Aspire lounge has a smoking room. The booze is better quality in the BA lounge. The food was better in the Aspire lounge last time I was there but I hear they have improved the quality of the food in the BA lounge in the last few weeks.
