Flew Man-Zur Thurs morn (cost us £55.00 roughly) and a hotel 5 mins fom the airport for £45.00 twin room.(cheap, cheerful, clean and tidy with a reasonable breakfast, and for Switzerland, damn cheap)
anyway,. down to the business end of trip! Easyjet now seem to arrive in terminal E (middle of airfield and excellent for viewing) after getting off after a 1hr 35 flight we spoke to information about the terrace, and could we access it from here without going back to term A/B to get the bus! she told us to go back through securuity, which we did, easy peasy, and up to the Panorama lounge (also marked Emirates lounge) we asked about going outside, she said its not allowed at the moment! so, we made our way to the lounge found two excellent windows giving us views of the whole airfield, very warm, toilets close by, cafe 1 floor below, and no cost to spot! so, we stayed, as anyway, it was raining quite heavily for a period. Only thing you miss was the noise and smell of an airport. I'd recommend this place, we had no probs from anyone apart from being asked by one guy when we were flyting, he took our answer of "tomorrow" and walked off happily, Security walked past occasionally, and just smiled.
Flew G-EZFG there and back!
