lounge

after flying a bajillion miles to/from africa, i finally started getting access to the lounges a few months ago. it's outstanding. clean bathrooms, comfortable chairs, free food and drinks... brussels airlines has two lounges - one for european and trans-atantic flights, and the other for "long-haul" flights. the long-haul lounge is basically for all the africa flights. it is much newer, and much more architecturally interesting than the other lounge, but it's kind of cold with all the metal struts and the super high ceilings. but it's still a lounge.
