Good stuff? Umm, not exactly, but a lot of other flights leave well before UA 888 so the lounge was emptier than I expected for a chunk of time before the flight.
Next time, I'll follow moondog's advice above and arrive late; if I have time I'll stop at Starbucks ...
Which lounge did you go to?
I find BGS to be perfectly fine. If I want a 10-course buffet I'll go to a restaurant before heading to the airport. If I really need to be online I'll make sure I have AirCard. As far as air conditioning goes maybe you were in there when I was - mentioned earlier they turn it down when I go in. Either that or lose some weight.
