Resting in the airport lounge

Among the best perks of traveling business class is access to the lounge. Those mysterious chambers that shun the economy class passenger are a haven to first and business class ticket holders.

I've only experienced a few lounges. One being the world's largest at Dubai in Emirates' Terminal 3. It seems larger than some airports. Emirates also has a gorgeous lounge at JFK. But you have to have a ticket to Dubai to experience it.

Right now I'm at the Premier Lounge at Hyderabad. It's shared by several airlines. Only Air India appears to have their own lounge here. It's not too busy but busier than when I was here in May. I got myself a Pepsi at the self-serve soda fountain and put my feet up on an ottoman. Sure beats the plastic benches in the stock yards outside. There's a little buffet, but I had dinner at the hotel so I'll pass.

The downtime; the waiting is certainly one of the harder parts of travel for me. But sitting in the lounge certainly makes the time pass more comfortably.
