Goldlust asked:
"Who does not like lounges?"

Me, for one, although I enjoy my time spent in airports. (I really do, even after 600K miles in the air) I always try for at least a 2 hour layover to relax and avoid stress. However, I much prefer a bar on the concourse. More interesting scenery, more interesting people, and usually closer to an exit so one can have a cigarette. Unlike some folks, I absolutely don't "work" on fly days, so the phones, computers, etc. mean nothing to me. I've been in many lounges, esp. after reading here how so many people really like them, but I simply find them to be extremly boring.
