I dont think anyone posted it yet - I noticed a big improvement in the NCE Schengen lounge (terminal 2) today - no changes in catering it seems, except a temporary wine tasting, but the surface is doubled, with much cozier and comfortable seating!
On my cellphone now, ill try to post pictures later. |

Works under way so access will be after security. It will be a plus, except for PAX in long transit from TGV air who are unable to check in until 2 hours before the flight therefore unable to go through security.

Hi,
Here are some of the pics I took of the enlarged NCE lounge :) Sorry for the delay ! http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery..._HDR.sized.jpg http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery..._HDR.sized.jpg You can see the "old" part of the lounge at the back here: http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery...9356.sized.jpg http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery...2310.sized.jpg |
Thank you Hasteflyer :)

The Schengen lounge looks so much better than the lousy non-Schengen lounge that Delta uses.

The catering is still identical in the enlarged lounge (btw, there's a sometimes hidden sign saying that you can ask for champagne - it took me 4-5 visits to spot it. Not a great one, but still better than the mediocre wines). As they are all operated by the airport, I suppose changes in one will be reflected in the others at some point. That said, the space on that floor is limited, so a similar extension of the non-schengen one is unlikely. I haven't been to that one (T2 non-schengen) in some time, so I have no idea whether they changed anything there. |
HKG - Hong Kong
The new Skyteam lounge is opened since 22 sept :)
You can find a nice review (with pics) in the Skyteam forum of FT : http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/skyte...l#post25577004 Interestingly, the OP mentioned that the lounge is not so large (220 seats) and that, for the moment, KE still has its own lounge (but now strictly reserved to KE pax), DL still uses VS lounge and AF/KL still use QF lounge :confused: This is maybe temporary, so if some of you fly Skyteam from HKG, please report here the situation :) |

They have also move the entrance of the lounge (it is now on the right of the former entrance). Nicer design than lower floor IMO, but they forgot one essential and basic equipment : power outlets !!
