Knowing that you’ll always find a comfortable spot to sit is half the battle when you want to relax before a flight. There’s pod seating with tables you can work at, conventional sofas and tables, stools up at the bar (where each seat has an international power socket and two USB points by the way), and tub seats and cocktail tables near the bar too.
