Fast track security was quick and painless although the well dressed chap immediately ahead of me was asked for his documents and then carted off by two agents!

The lounge is some distance away at gate A20







The lounge itself is not bad










The same cannot be said for the weather!



I am very aware of the earlier warning not to come to the lounge due to the slowness of security to the non-Schengen zone but a bit of googling suggested there was an alternative security here at A20 that was much quicker and in fact the lounge has its own exit to security



The sweetie bar was irresistible and now it’s time to settle in for a little while. I am well ahead of the crowd, checkin only formally opened 17 minutes ago.
