Location

The First lounge at A-gates is located near the other Business and Senator lounges,but has its own entrance.

After a long corridor, we reach the reception, which will be charming.

The dragons are very smiling, invite me to have my documents for Singapore checkedby an attendant located near the reception, which she will do in a very charming way too. Once I have received my boarding pass, the dragon offers me a tour of the lounge, which I accept.

At the end of the visit, I am asked what time I want to be transferred to the non-Schengen lounge. I answer in about 30 minutes, and the dragon returns with a reservation sticker.

Lounge design

The lounge, although very small, has various lounging areas bathed in second daylight from the terminal, a dining area mixing buffet and a la carte service, a small darkened rest area, various work spaces.

For my part, I will enjoy a glass of pink champagne with a very good cigar offered by the airline in the smoking room.

The service will be very careful.

Bottom line

A great lounge that I look forward to exploring more deeply on my return trip.
