The TVs all show Indian cricket league, the people in the lounge look like your normal business travellers and stare at their laptops or iPads. No magazines in here and my Kindle only has boring books. #firstworldproblems
Can you buy interesting books for your Kindle? Watch a show/movie on iPad or laptop?

It does sound tedious though :console:

I actually checked and they do have magazines. In French or local Indian ones.

My flight is scheduled at 3am, which must be just about the worst possible time if the day.

In this situation I normally head for the airport bar.

Picking up strange businessmen may or may not be a great idea. :hmm:

The lounge has free booze, but as I get travel sick easily I usually don't drink before flights... :-(

There was a hot French girl here earlier, but the flight to Paris already left. Now I can see 25 people, all middle aged businessmen. Not my thing...

I'll fly Lufthansa, so they'll probably all be 50+ years old.

Some of the odder UK polling stations today:

I am not sure what is weirder:

1. That a polling station is in a man's home.

2. That that man carries around a teddy bear

3. That his name is Lord Hannah of Pilcot.  Hannah?

There was a pretty cute one on my flight to Ankara last summer. :wub:

See?  50+ year olds can be cute.

She was 35 or so. :P

I did see younger girls in Lufthansa livery, but only on the ground when we did our layover in Munich. I distinctly remember a dark-haired goddess at a desk when we disembarked. She gave me directions but I didn't listen to a word.  :blush:

Another 15 minutes till boarding. I almost made it.
