I was told their alcohol permit was not approved for the temp lounge. Decent selection of chips/packaged snacks to choose from. No soups or salad fixings available. Barista bar is open. Less seating than the old lounge but same great views of the runway. Humongous TV screen with ~20 seats/loungers facing it. They moved the round tables & chairs from the old lounge to the windows. They are shooting for a mid-February opening of the expanded lounge space.

Very quiet afternoon with less than 50% of seats taken.
