We flew business class to Rome and back last September, because we won the lottery for open seats. So, we got to hang out in the lounges. We basically consumed all of the free food and drinks that we could before our flight was called for boarding. The one in Rome was nicer than the one at Dulles, but much more crowded. Still, free brekkie and drinks! John and I kept joking about being the Beverly Hillbillies.
