Not that they are missing out on anything at all. That place is a total dump.

Still free drinks and coffee is not to be sneezed at when compared to packed Starbucks. Although it's not totally a dump it could do with an overhaul for sure.

When you are happy and content a female (opposite sex) security person cops a feel to get it over and done with and not ask if you want male security person to pat you down, and happy you are on your way without any major delay to lounge et al.
 
When you walk into the Singapore Lounge after 6 months since your last visit and......

You are greeted warmly by all staff welcoming you back. All of whom you also remember quite well.

They are all apologizing profusely that your favorite food option - lamb cutlets - are not on the menu today.

Ask after your family, and checking that no family are traveling with you today.

And have your favorite drink, made up and brought to you, at your favorite table, before you have had half a chance to sit down.

and other people around are a little startled at the commotion and comment "well you must come here often".......


Needless to say, has hit home I must fly more often than most - and oh the warm fuzzies in how well I have these lounge angels trained to pamper me on my way.

I think of it as going to my favourite restaurant. A little embarrassing at times though. Turnovers there are quite low, I think, although I'm well aware of it when/if it happens.
 
.......you refrain from telling the shop assistant why you are being so indecisive about the size of a belt buckle.

I must admit to slipping badly at DFO at South Wharf when this young lady asked me why I was being so picky about belt buckle sizes and I very foolishly replied "so I don't set off the aiport metal detector". Said young lass, with due bubbly enthusiasm chirped, "you just slip it off, it's not a problem". Grumpy old man (me) said "it's a pain when you fly over 100 flights a year"..............."Oh my Goooooooooood! What do you do", she exploded. "I'm a movie star" and walk off with the purchase :cool:

......and I'm annoyed. It doesn't beep domestically, but it does internationally. I never knew Int scanners were more sensitive! $50 for a belt and it doesn't work! :(

Quote:-: Swanning it :-:

LoL, better off buying an el cheapo $3 belt, metal content so rubbish it barely registers.

Just got me a quirky 'Marvel Comic' characters belt for this reason.

Nothing so far on multiple Domestic, success.
Nothing so far AUS Intl departure, single, success.

That being said, departing Fiji I didn't have belt on, but a very small necklace I wear everywhere set off their scanners.
Spoke to staff and they have their detectors set to the most extreme setting available. Nil tolerance.

(they were the very same security that finally took my caribiner knife off me after 3 years of countless airports)

But, like I said, find an attractive CHEAP belt.

Cheers, D

I love that its primary purpose is to not beep. Why don't people understand!

I'm sick of the dodgy bros belts as they leather is also cough and pulls through the holes. The one I bought had reinforced holes and a buckle that I was almost sure wouldn't set of the beeper. Maybe we need a thread for belts that work!
