· Beverages: There's plenty of free liquid courage available to get you through your flight. Beer, wine, and the requisite hard stuff are all in stock, but like Air France's lounges, you'll be serving yourself in some. We recommend brushing up on some trendy cocktail recipes before your travel day, so that you can move beyond the rum and coke and impress any hot loungemates. Or just fly out of London-Heathrow, where the Singapore Airlines lounge comes complete with bartender.

· Snacks: Buffet-style dining allows you to fill up on a selection of sandwiches, rice, noodles, chicken dishes, and spring rolls. We'd go straight to gorging ourselves with some of the crispy spring rolls, but there are many more choices including chips, crackers, and cookies.

· Other Amenities: This lounge doesn't disappoint with its selection of business-friendly gadgets. There are workstations, fax machines, soundproof telephone booths and plasma televisions, just in case you finish work early and want to catch up on Lost. If you're feeling a little sleepy however, make a pit-stop at the lounges in Singapore and Taipei, where you can get some rest in their Italian-leather slumberettes. To freshen up, take a shower in one of the private rooms, and don't worry, they provide better shampoo and conditioner than the Suave in your carry-on.

· What To Watch Out For:Some of the larger lounges have separate areas for the First Class and Business Class customers, which is great for avoiding your bosses if they're in first-class. The two lounges in Singapore-Changi are obviously the flagships of the brand, with Terminal 3 bad boy taking top billing with its marble walls. These two beauties are also open 24 hours a day for your lounging pleasure, but there are 14 others around the globe if Southeast Asia isn't on the itinerary.
