Please, please fellow flyers, do not contribute to this thread any further. You are playing right into "Their Hands"
There is nothing that adds more laughs around "Board Room Tables" in the Airline Industry, than flyers complaining about their treatment after they enter an airport for a flight.
Let it be understood once and forever and it cannot be said any more clearly........Your rear end sitting on a seat within the "Silver Bird" is all that is important, NOTHING ELSE!
What little niceties the industry feels they need to entice you further, are now trimmed, and will in the future be further trimmed to the absolute minimum.
Don't allow yourself to be upset about what you feel you are entitled to, it's just not in the game plan now and will further be reduced in the future.
Surely any of you who have flown in USA will have noticed....The lounges there were annihilated in service many many years back. Do not fool yourselves that it isn't well on the way here.
Step out of your airport transport, walk calmly to check-in, then without any further thought you are going to be delightfully waited upon, march to the lounge you have paid highly for the pleasure of being a member and expect nothing other than some form of snack and a comfy chair.
That's it people. Don't be fooled, your forthcoming flight will be a lot more relaxed.
