Well Buechico, as always you nailed it. Thank you.
237SJ (that just rolls of the tongue), I agree with you for the most part, but Eastjet have just emailed me shifting the departure time ahead for four hours, (and every possibility they may move it again), so just wanted to be based somewhere comfortable for a few hours.
Also, when travelling alone, it's a real drag have to take your trolley case to the loo with you. In lounges, you can generally leave it safely for a few minutes.
