Currently in the Joan Miro which unfortunately is after Passport Control and no access to the wonderful smoking area by Starbucks I was in before
Having said that I've donned a patch and am enjoying the ambience and finger food on offer.
These third party lounges are not a patch on BA ones particularly when it comes to things like the spirit choice - Johnnie Walker Red Label. If I'd paid 40 Euros to get in I'd be a bit disappointed.
Also they seem to have "takeaways" nailed as all the Beer/Soft Drinks require a bottle opener - bottle of Ba's finest aqua is all I'm going to get..
