Riga's airport, RIX, is located south of the city, in the community of Mārupe. The airport is also a hub for Air Baltic. I have been here before, but just transiting on Air Baltic. Now I flew here on Finnair, and back on the same day, on the day trip to ski (link, alt. link) and cave in Latvia (link, alt. link)... found a lounge that serves families as well as business travelers. Nice!
The airport is compactly sized and nice. I tested their lounge, the Primeclass Business Lounge (link). There was no warm food, but otherwise it was quite good, several types of sandwiches and ingredients to make more. And I loved the extra space, they had a meeting room, private suites, and a children's play room! Wow! Finally, someone understands what is needed from a lounge :-)
