After a long haul flight it&#8217;s certainly refreshing to be able to have a free shower in the lounge to perk yourself back up. Though slightly smaller, the alternative lounge reached from the B Concourse is almost always much, much, quieter than the primary lounge in the larger Concourse A. Flights departing for the USA almost always leave from B or C gates, and so it&#8217;s a safe bet to station yourself at the B lounge while waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.captainsglen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2272-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1383\" width=\"526\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.captainsglen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2272-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.captainsglen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2272-563x750.jpeg 563w, https:\/\/blog.captainsglen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2272-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.captainsglen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2272.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While things changed during the height of COVID-19, with food no longer self-serve, other than a few pastries, and passengers expected to keep their masks on except when seated to eat or drink, things are entirely back to pre-pandemic times as of 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unsurprisingly, airport lounges are better than general seating at the gate.
