The lounge, for me at least, is a more soothing and peaceful environment, away from the crowds and the unintelligible announcements. A place where I don't have to shout in my phone, where I can have a quiet drink and gather my thoughts.
To all those individuals who don't care to use lounges for whatever reason despite their ability to do so, whether by ticketed class or elite status, thank you for making them less crowded.
