BNE lounge for the next 20 minutes, can guest 3.

Not too busy.
Made my own toastie with the chicken wrap.

I was in the PER lounge on Saturday for four hours. Dirty dishes that were around (on all different table tops) when I entered the lounge were still there when I left. Staff came by to fix the chairs up multiple times, but never touched the very obviously abandoned dishes. That was only my second time in a VA lounge. Is that standard for VA??

Used to be, during busy times at Sydney and Melbourne. I thought I read reports that this had improved recently?

I have seen the Melbourne and Brisbane lounges with a lot of uncleared tables during busy times, however the staff have managed to get on top of the mess within half an hour or so.
