The lounge's café feels like a convenience store the way the drinks and food are laid out in the open refrigerators, lol. The wine tasting areas is a novel idea to showcase some locals products. I do like how the lounge has that open-terminal feel like in PEK (only nicer looking, lol).
The catering is quite worrying. The way the tray is presented is very Y with the foil and plastic still on all the food. The lamb burger doesn't look appetizing visually; a very brown main, which really could use some color. The cheese plate is very weak. The dessert looks like it came from Starbucks.
The little tea service tray is a nice touch.
A very grey London day on arrival, at least the spotting was nice.
Not a very strong performance by IB on this flight. Standard European hard product, but pretty uninspiring catering. Only pro was the friendly crew (2 for 2 on IB, so at least you have that going for you).
Maybe you will win the race to CPH after all...
- Perhaps the idea is to make you feel right at home. ;) The simplicity of the catering is quite a contrast to the unique ambiance inside. The Sala Velasquez offers a more elaborate buffet for sure.

- Lounges like that seem more spacious but at the same time noisier.

- To be fair I don't think that IB is the only that presents its dishes covered in foil, but you are right about the catering being worrying. The veal burger did not have a discernible foie or truffle flavor and was just mediocre. The industrial dessert that seems to have been mass produced is certainly disappointing. On a flight like this, I would have preferred a cold seafood plate. Perhaps I should have ordered that meal instead.

- Nice presentation and the small piece of chocolate is a well thought addition.

- Oh I warmed up as soon as I hit the F lounges, especially the BA one with a sip of Jack Daniel's whiskey and a few glasses of champagne. ;)

- Too early to say. It's not over until it is over. ;)
Thank you Michael for your support. It's always a pleasure to read your comments.
The flagship lounge looks really nice--kind of impressive.
Thanks for sharing!
- Objectivity is not for sale. ;)

- It has a futuristic and slightly abstract twist in my opinion. However the other lounge Velázquez is bigger and has better catering.
Thank you Kevin for your comments.
