Really good to know, and also I didn't know it had a workspace having only been there once before, and briefly. I may hedge my bets and take some work with me I'd otherwise have to do at a less salubrious time.

After that full-on lounge day, you will then be swapping one terra firma seat for another in the clouds. Don’t know how long your flight is, but can imagine you’ll be pretty keen to enjoy a good spell of fresh air (perhaps with a healthy dose of vitamin D ) the next day !!
Haha, to be honest I think it is very appreciated because the first one really hates flying so very much. But he's off to a wedding in Japan, and you really can't get there any other way.

And alas, my trip is slightly preposterous; I'm only off to Newcastle for a birthday party, and back the following evening. So my 10 hours at the airport entirely negates the 'well, I won't spend a day getting there on the train' plan I had originally, but at least there's free fizzy wine! ​​​​​​​
