Just returned from Bangalore. In the departure area (past security where you wait for planes), there is not only no lounges, I couldn't even find a place to buy a beer. Soda, coffee were available, but nothing with alcohol.

The good news: They did have cheap wireless LAN available that worked well and was fast. $2 USD for 1 hour. I wished I hadn't packed my webcam in my luggage as I'm sure it was fast enough to video conference with my kids. As it was we had fun with instant messenger.

The bad news: My LH plane that was scheduled to take off at almost 1am was grounded for 2 hours due to a light fog. The pilot came out and talked with us. He was pissed. Said the plane could handle much denser fog, but the air traffic control didn't believe him.... I barely made my connection in Frankfurt. My luggage showed up a day later.

P.S. The food in LH even in "C" class still leaves a lot to be desired. And I can't wait for them to upgrade these planes to their new seats. Their old seats are not competitive.
