I fully understand your surprise at the airport and lounge. I'd say there are a bit more than 8 tables, but nonetheless its always quiet and the lounge ladies are really quite friendly. Very good at remembering frequent flyers as well...
I particularly love the passport check coming into HUY, after a while you can just walk through
I'm also an admirer of the traffic lights outside HUY that demarcate the road/runway junction...
No elite check in though!
By the way, LBA is more inconvenient, but a return LBA-AMS for £18 inc. tax beats KLM's £40 tax + £50-£80 fare hands-down. Still, I won't complain as long as I don't have to pay myself.
