What do other FFs think of the 1903 Lounge at T3 now that it looks like AF/KL have moved out of the dire 'Aspire' (sic) Lounge? Personally it's a thumbs up from me.
I'm impressed as it's a little smaller, more personal with great service and IMO more like what a business lounge should be.

The trouble with 'Aspire' (and the one at T1 is even worse, which someone I know calls the 'Despair Lounge') is that they have encouraged a certain type of passenger to pay for entry. That means it attracts those that do a quick cost benefit analysis on the cost of the entry fee versus the 'benefit' from the amount of alcohol they can throw down their necks in the time available. Therefore the more they drink the better value it is in their minds. Incentivizing alcohol consumption is not a good idea at an airport.
