This lounge opened around 100 minutes before the sole flight of the day departed, so I can’t imagine that they’re making a great deal of money from this arrangement. It’s the Horizons Lounge and this photo shows most of the lounge, the door is to the left, the coffee is behind me, the little payment area is to the right and the main seating area is ahead.
The seating area which overlooks the airport apron. There were three passenger groups in here, so it wasn’t busy, but it also had some atmosphere. It was clean and tidy, although I did wonder whether they could have got some tables that didn’t look like rubbish bins.
There was something of a reliance on pre-packaging snacks and I’m not going to complain about a lounge which has lots of crisps, biscuits and chocolates. There’s also a coffee machine to the left which proved useful given how early in the morning it was. There was a beer available in the fridge, but I really wasn’t in the mood that early.
Well, there we go, what more could I want for breakfast?
I was impressed that the airport had opened this lounge up, there are some reviews which said it opened late or not at all, so my expectations were limited. The reviews are broadly low for the whole arrangement, but I suspect that some passengers expected sandwiches, caviar and a selection of fine wines, but that’s not going to be realistic when there’s one flight a day.
