Flew out of NEMA yesterday, the bar and coffee shop in the international departure lounge are closed and boarded up (with much activity taking place if the noise was anything to go by).
The facilities upstairs which only used to be availible landside have been closed off and are now availible airside. So if you want a coffee/beer/burger/whatever airside you now have to go upstairs.
Good news about the new lounge, it was a very sad day when bmi closed theirs.
