My thought goes further: first you close the lounge early temporarily, hand out vouchers to those who have enough time. And then you might close early permanently because of a lack of demand, no vouchers needed anymore. And you can claim that this is due to customer demand.

Actually I've managed to avoid the most crowded times quite successfully. That's not my main concern. The "food" is. I'd rather buy 17 EUR worth of food from Alepa courtesy of AY.

As validated by the survey, we understand that crowding and food offering are currently the biggest pain points in the Schengen lounge. We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time as we continue to develop our lounge offering in the future.

The sign claims that the hours are valid until 17NOV. Let’s see…

It seems that some pax actually like the stuff they offer at the lounge. A lady in her fifties asked the dragon if the lasagne is vegetarian and said that the vegetarian food in the lounge is so good that the chefs should open a vegetarian restaurant. There was no irony in her voice. I would have liked to intervene, but kept quiet…
