Somebody at least seems to have been proactive and arranged two alternatives. That’s pretty impressive I think. Perhaps it’s a contingency plan permanently in place? Out of interest – are they the screen they normally use to put round dead bodies?

No, the screens they use for that are usually green.

Good that they have contingency in place. Is flooding more likely in this lounge than other spots in the airport?.

Zooming in on the sign …. Does it say “Apologies for any oncovenience caused”
