Looks quite impressive [y]

Not just the usual 'stick a few sofas & tables in a large room and call it an airline business lounge'

Just waiting for the domestic lounge re-fit now (which is supposed to start later this year) - that needs sorting. It's just too big.

Looks like quite a nice lounge. Quite surprised.

As for the domestic side lounge at LHR, it's only too big because it hails from the BMI of old, which was a bigger operation with more premium pax. The emptiness of the lounge is a reflection of what BMI have become, as well as a general sign of the times.

Yes it is very good, better than I had imagined.

Lots of space, comfy chairs and tables.

There is a good business area (I am on one of the workstations now!).
There is a library, an area that looks like your living room, self service bar with draught beer! Good viewing area, quiet zone with day beds. Individual shower cubicles....

I have only been in here a few minutes and don't have long as my flight is quite soon but will be coming back.
This will sway my choice of carrier on my regular Dusseldorf route away from BA at T5.

ooh - sounds good, I am thinking about upgrading a flight in September to be able to make use of it. Might be worth a try then!
