The start of a trip begins with an airport lounge~

➡️Martina Lounge (West Wing)

I couldn't make it to the airport lounge on my August and November trips. The line at the Incheon Airport lounge was... One time the line was so long I just gave up. Another time I spent my time duty-free shopping so I didn't have time to go. Haha. Since so many card companies offer free lounge access these days, the lines have gotten really long lately. For December, I wasn't sure how the lounge line would be, so I thought I'd go up and see whether the line was long or short this time~ So I went up... What a surprise~ There was no line at the Martina Lounge! Yay~ lol, we got right in.~^^ Come to think of it, Paratha Airlines' time slot was earlier than the other evening airlines! And since we didn't have any checked luggage and had already done mobile check-in, we skipped the check-in line! Also, the check-in counter opens 3 hours before, but since we'd done mobile check-in... It seems arriving early and entering the duty-free area before check-in counters even opened helped a lot~^^ As always with the Martina Lounge, since it gets compared so much to the Da Nang Airport lounge... the seats are basically restaurant tables, so it feels less like going to rest and more like going to eat. Haha. Since Paratha Airways was at Gate 48, we went to the west side Martina Lounge.

While inhaling my food, I kept glancing at the departure board here and there.^^ Luckily, Parata Airlines is departing right on time without any delays. I also thoroughly polished off some beer and ice cream. I came out with a nice full, round belly.
