The dentists waiting room

Ladies and Gentlemen. Zembla proudly presents the dentists waiting room in Lagos, Nigeria. I took the picture before the dentists waiting room was so filled that people had to stand. It got really stuffy. Thankfully the waiting patients were offered a cool drink...which was warm.



This picture was actually taken recently in the outstation lounge on one of the most profitable routes for KLM and AF. Their lounge in LOS. As you can see, this picture has been taken after an amazing refurbishment which took months.

Interesting to see the signature AF lounge table at LOS - this must be an AF lounge, not 3rd party lounge, even more amazing.

Was the dental care good after the waiting? What the dentist did offer you to rinse your mouth out? And most imoportant thing : was the dentist's seat flully flat or slippery?

Amazing! Same seat as in most other lounges worldwide, I love it that AF is so careful to offer a consistent product .

... I wonder how this one seat (and the sister lamp) made it from some old lounge somewhere else to Lagos, it is hilarious to see... one!

The outposts in Africa are certainly special...

I can't imagine how a thing like this is... not fixed. Well, I've seen much worse lounges, but for an AF/KL lounge... still like that after the refurbishment, pff..

LOS main terminal is not bad. Lines are long but staff is friendly and helpful. Also immigration and customs are correct an polite. Once you're through security you'd find airside surprisingly spacious. (Not the overcrowded dentists waiting room though.) There are a few bars of which one is actually very nice. Tax free is considerably more expensive than buying things in town. The worst part of LOS is an anarchic rugby scrum when boarding, because the gates do not have enough space. Go late to the gate to avoid that. But overall not bad and that, can I say pathetic waiting room vibe from my link is what you get in the AF/KL lounge.

Most of all, you should see the BA lounge at LOS. It's excellent.
