The space is lighter and brighter, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views across the runway and an abundance of plants bringing the outside in.
The lounge has 149 chairs and ottomans which have been reupholstered using GREENGUARD certified upholstery. while a business area is on hand for those needing to catch up.
