Apparently, the fruit salad has been enhanced. Only apples and oranges available.

Lumo corner reeks like a sewage outlet. Due to renovations, they tell me.

Uh oh, how can I read this or my logic is compromised?

”bubbles enhanced, only cider and jaffa left”
and
”Lumo member acting idiot, drinking too extensively and forgetting to use toilets as relief valve”

Well, in this case I didn’t mean the liquid kind

By the way, I have never seen full size wine bottles made of plastic. But now I know they exist. Served in the Schengen lounge. Maybe next week, the wine comes in cardboard cartons?

This survey is available in the lounge via QR code. Might not hurt to let AY think what our thoughts about the lounge are. Might not help either, though.

Those plastic bottles have been there quite long. I like their existence, since it is a good guarantee for me I dont need to waste energy in thinking to take or not to take. Pass.

Should I say it?

Plastic bottles are sustainable!

What is the best way to guest my family members (4) to Schengen lounge? One as a guest and 3 tickets purchased in advance?

If this includes your own kids, you can bring them in addition to one guest (assuming kids are under 18 y.o.).

7am empty dishes everywhere, few seats available.
i guess hiring more staff is not sustainable.

Their plan is to reduce the number of customers instead.

The other day the lounge served vegetarian soup with chorizo. I thought it would contain vegetarian chorizo substitute but after having filled the bowl with soup I noticed that the soup contains pork. Well me being a vegan and vegetarian proned meat-eater itwas not hugely diasappointing even though vegetarian sausage would have been my preference.

"vegetarian with chorizzo" reminds me of Norwegian vegetables aka salmon.

Few years back, in our office canteen they've regularly served "Vegetarian Chilli CON Carne"
