Spanair opens new lounge at Madrid-Barajas Airport

On the 13th of November, Spanair opened its new Lounge in Terminal 2 of Madrid-Barajas Airport. Complete with innovative design, it provides an elegant and comfortable environment featuring vanguard furniture and a panoramic view of the runways through its 20 metre-long window.

The Lounge's excellent location allows passengers easy access to its facilities from the Terminal 2 check-in area, as well as speedy access to the boarding gates.

This Lounge, with a surface area of almost 800 sq.m. features increased individual work stations with IT equipment and a free internet connection. Passengers are also able to enjoy traditional services such as a choice of Spanish and international newspapers and magazines, TV, fax and a high-speed wireless connection.

Further advantages provided by the Lounge include a meeting room that can be accessed by members of the Spanair frequent flyer programme who are holders of the Spanair Plus Gold card, as well as a smoking area. A catering service offering greater choice is another of the novelties of the recently-opened Lounge.
