The lounge is completely run down and broken. Screaming spawn, bad food (should have loaded up on the food in Vilnius, I guess, and that tiny lounge isn't much to write home about). Here in CDG we have awful looking mystery meat, a bad selection of drinks, coffee from thermoses, awful lighting, empty magazine racks, outdated decor, inadequate bathrooms. For godssakes, some pain au chocolat would have been a nice touch. But no.
Agree 100% on it being an awful lounge. At 8 am Sunday, completely full and awful food and nonfunctioning coffee machines (zero functional ones, so carafes of bad coffee that were sometimes empty). That said, as a 1K got through checkin, emigration, and security reasonably smoothly (say, 45 minutes, but we had a lot of luggage and pets). The non-status economy line was snaking a long, long ways.
