New lounge is nice, but the seating feels less dense than before so I worry that it’ll be worse than last year in peak ski season.
I had the pleasure of passing through the new GVA lounge. BA have done an excellent job for this outstation - and a very important one for premium frequent fliers for sure.
Though, it feels smaller than before - and I would agree with the poster above - that it seems there seems to be no net additional seating as the seats added are bigger. I would guess the total seat capacity is around 75, which is really not a lot for peak season, even if BA did extend the lounge fractionally. It really needs much more space!
Fasttrack worked as normal too!
