Hopefully that is only to check you have enough time to eat before boarding and not to keep track of consumption. Just imagine you get given a bill on the way out! :shock:
Avoiding UK is also easy on *A, except for those few times actually need to visit there. *A hubs in Europe include FRA, MUC, MXP, ZRH, GVA, VIE, WAW, CPH, ARN, BCN, MAD, HEL, ZAG, LJU. Plenty of choices.
Thanks Jason. Never mind work, please get to the important stuff (ie booze).
I should be able to compare directly in a week and a half (visits to both MEL & SYD F lounges by then).
There are, IMHO, a number of possible stories that could have been written
- need to be careful reading rules
- whether the charges are reasonable
But a tirade against the airline for his own laziness is not a good story.
That rate is ridiculous. A full day's hire should be less than that (including equipment).
Qantas Club meeting rooms go for $100 an hour (max $600), but you need to be flying QF same day.
Wrong shape and the economy pax tend to complain about the balls being bounced off their heads.
Now, 10 pin bowling OTOH. Just need to be sure that each adjacent lane is working in the opposite direction ;)
Different security rules in different countries is also annoying. What was perfectly safe and allowed on the inbound flight suddenly becomes unsafe on the flight connecting to.
Ah I was referring to at the same airport, at the same time, having different rules. Yes I have seen at LHR one security line requiring shoes off while the one next to it shoes can stay on. Daft. If you really had something dodgy in your shoes which line do you think you'd choose?
