In response to another thread, which has gone rabid, ( http://www.australianfrequentflyer....n-australia-velocity/ool-lounge-28501-87.html ) where the potential abuse and misuse of the intention of Anytime access of "The Lounge" for Golds and Platinums became heated. What is your interpretation of a fair use of ATA
I will start off
1. Obviously departure access
2. Arrivals access (maybe a coffee, freshaen up, Shower after redeye etc)
3. Occasional access, when sending off a Colleague/ Family member,
4. Pre-arranged formal events, ie: Lounge opening, AFF event organised with VA approval
What I consider to be an abuse of the privelige
1. Calling in daily for a free feed and a beer
2. Making the lounge the place of the regular Friday afternoo, end of week watering hole
3. Too lazy to make my own breakfast, so I will just pop into the lounge on the way to work, pay $6 to park, and eat something that would cost me $10 at McDonalds
