Platinum Members for years, had reservations over a year, cast aside because some entitled Board Member decided they wanted to use the lounge today!
We are currently sat outside in the regular area. The young lady who is helping us, is THE ONLY REDEEMABLE PART ABOUT THIS ORDEAL.
She set aside an area away from the rest of the cafeteria-esque "lounge" and is serving us the best she can, now that we are out here.
Now for a detailed review...
This "lounge" is slightly better than the terminal. It has wifi, fountain drinks, snacks, and a little isolation from the noise and madness.
HOWEVER it is still full of kids, coughing people, phone calls, and so on.
If you pay extra, you are offered a small corner area with a curtain and walls, a couch and seats, where you're served a planned menu and offered drinks. WHICH IS WHAT WE PAID FOR! BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY REPRIEVE DURING A LONG LAY OVER BETWEEN FLIGHTS IN HEAT AND HUMIDITY WE GET DURING THE DAY, TODAY THOUGH, SOME IGNORANT, RUDE, SELFISH, INCONSIDERATE, ENTITLED MORON decided they would push their weight around and abuse their rights as a "board member". Kicking us to the curb, into the regular lounge, where I am currently listening to 3 children shouting and running around, a bunch of people coughing not one covering their mouth, phone calls, all kinds of bad smells from people travelling all day, ALL THE REASONS I WASTED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FEW HOURS OF REST AND PRIVACY!
So... Again...
The lounge deserves a 3-4/5 normally.
But be warned, it's usually full and you have to wait in line to get in, UNLESS YOU PAY EXTRA, LIKE WE DO.
The private lounge a 5
This unbelievable shameful treatment gets a 1
I will be reconsidering all future investments. My company will be divesting from any future arrangements.
I don't want any freebies or credits, I don't need it.
I WANTED WHAT I PAID FOR. SHAMEFUL!
