jcameron 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 Lounge feels refreshed, that's for sure. New darker tones and new chairs. Not as lush with the huge potted plants though. Very different feel than the MTB regional lounge. Service has improved, apart from the occasional clueless guy, they're friendly and encourage you to walk around and raid the pantry, including the Platinum Lounge pantry. Then again it just opened, so maybe they're proud of it and want to show off their showcase. Not sure if cabin crew is now there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The uniform is a shade darker than the normal green they have on board, from my observation. Not exactly their usual green, but not blueish-grey either; then again, I could be mistaken.

Josh T 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 They have changed the type of chairs in order to fit more in. This is definitely in prepration for them in joining OneWorld and catering for the increased number of passengers who are going to use this lounge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcameron 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Pics are of the Business Class side. Was offered to have a peek at the First Class side but didn't have enough time. I agree that the workstation area is a little plain. Not sure if the smoking room is still there. Not a smoker, so didn't really cross my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
