    2. Airport Lounges

    This is what our member katee283 asks our AFF community
    What do other members think of this: Recently I was travelling with a friend who has access to an airport lounge. The friend invited me to come in and I accepted. About a week later that friend asked that I pay them money for using the lounge as their guest because it had "cost them money"
    Our members are dumbstruck at such audacity. Some thought perhaps the Lounge was a Priority Pass lounge, where members can guest others for a fee that is sometimes not disclosed at time of entry.
    I'm guessing it was via the Priority Pass. Some lounges don't charge for an extra guest and some do. I've guested people before using mine and just wear the charge if it comes (sometimes it doesn't). I've never told them it has cost me anything
    As it turns out it was not a Priority Pass lounge. The 'friend'
    had gained Lounge access through flight status points so it did not cost them anything to invite me in
    They charged our member 20 bucks.

    Our AFF view on this one is unanimous
    I would agree with what seems to be the consensus here - not cool
    One our moderators adds
    maybe you should point your ex friend to all the answers in this thread. Let them see for themselves how big an ass they have made of themselves

    Virgin "Business" from Bali to brisbane is NOT worth it

    Dear Sir / Madame

    You really have no right to call the service you run from Bali a business class service

    From your lounge partner in Denpasar charging me to access the Internet, to your crappy...

    Re: Annoying Internet plans in hotels that cap the downloads

    Yes, but that's why I no longer use hotel Internet.

    When in Australia I use my mobile phone's 3G hotspot and suck up the 2.5GB that I have on my phone.

    When in New Zealand (my most frequented...

    Re: Qantas BNE/SYD/MEL - LAX $850

    I just did a dummy booking for Sept 12. 2 people SYD/LAX return 1823 euro = 2300 AUD. The same flights on Qantas were $3700.

    Re: Changes to Qantas Lounges in Singapore

    And I'm not a fan of the F shower - no hot water on my last two visits (Feb and May) - I've taken to using the J showers instead.

    Re: Which Energy Companies take AMEX currently?

    Synergy (WA) does as does Alinta (gas in WA). However Alinta won't do it for direct debit - laziness on their part I guess.

    Re: I need your *urgent* advice. QF or VA in business to LA?

    I've researched Air NZ's J class on the 773 and it's quite impressive. I have flown Virgin Atlantic J (herringbone seat) a few times in the past and whilst Air NZ has the same product, it's nice to...

    Re: Secret list exposes Aussie passport holders' data risk

    I think you will find that these people are getting an extra layer of security - their information is more valuable than yours so should be protected. Often that is within organisations rather than...
