Maybe there are few SV first-class ticket-holders floating around, yet most flights will host a number of ST E+ passengers: we are not the rare birds you think we are . So maybe there's another reason for the emptiness of the F-section of the lounge. Some cite the arctic climate!

Certainly the table service of an enhanced menu is nice enough, and the ice-cream cabinet a plus. But once the novelty of all that is over, on a long connection I'd shift to the other lounge section and seek out snooze-room space.
