Lounge to myself

[NM]

I have the entire VNO Business Lounge to myself right now. Its a shared lounge for all airlines using the airport and available to premium cabin passengers and high status frequent flyers (I am travelling Y on Finnair/Flybe). At 5:45pm, i am the only passenger in the lounge!

Any else able to report this? Probably for some exclusive lounge or very early starts. But this is the only lounge at this airport and used by many airlines. And they have The Glenlivet 12yo

I've had the PRG lounge all to myself, also when flying AY. It was also a general lounge, not sure if the only one however. I think it makes you appreciate how few people actually have status and the flying demographic is slightly different there.

The crazy thing is that the VNO Business Lounge is actually better (in my opinion) than the AY lounge at HEL. The food and beverage options before a short-haul flight were significantly better than AY has to offer at its home port before a 12-hour flight. Beer, wine (red, white sparkling) juice or water for drinks, and tomato soup, some gluggy rice and bean mix, and salad is about all. Oh, and about 20 people in the lounge with departures to HKG and SIN in the next few hours. Its one of those times when a delay on the first leg would be appreciated.

I have had the QF Broome lounge to myself but I'm thinking that it is not really a great comparison.

Have had SQ PR in SIN all to myself for up to 30 mins or so on numerous occasions arr on SQ218 at 05:45 -it's a beautiful thing.

Also new J Lounge in CRK all to myself twice - but wouldn't count that experience as any great achievement.

About 2 weeks ago I was the only person in the Manaia Lounge, Christchurch international, apart from the 1 attendant. I was on a 20:45 Jetrats flight (my last JQ flight was 8 years before). The lounge attendant told me this was not that unusal. Often only 2 or 3 in the lounge at that time. Lounge is used by QF & EK

A couple of months back I was the only person in the KUL CX lounge.

From memory I was the only person in the DCA Admirals Club early in the morning after a red-eye LAX-DCA.

The have also been times where I was the only person in QF regional longes in Queensland.

I've been the lone passenger in the JAL lounge at ICN and the CX F lounge at TPE. Always good to have lots of staff looking after you.

Have been the first passenger into the CBR J lounge but that only lasted for a minute or two.

The Vlounge at DRW can only fit one person

Last Friday evening in MNL, as there was an A/C issue in the QC & the MIASCOR lounge was rather crowded, I was discreetly offered the alternate JAL/Emirates Sakura lounge where initially I was the sole occupant enjoying the serenity until a large & boisterous family walked in with their misbehaving & noisy children screaming throughout the lounge.
The lounge angel & I simply went from :shock: -> -> :evil: syndrome in a matter of minutes.
Suffice to say their visit was short lived after the announcement from the lounge angel that their flight was boarding early..

I had the Qantas lounge at BNE International to myself for an hour last Saturday before my flight to Auckland. Eventually three other people showed up. This was very different to my last visit when the place was packed.

I've been there some mornings when it is difficult to find a single vacant seat.

Exactly the same for me a few months back I think it was the 18.30 flight :mrgreen:

Before the complete re-model, I once had the QF SIN J lounge to myself for about 3-4 hours. My flight in on Jet Airways had been very late to arrive, so I missed my connection to PER, and all the other flights to Australia had already departed. And the flights to Europe weren't for ages. Was a little weird, and the staff kept wanting to come over for a chat when all I wanted to do was find somewhere to curl up for a nap.

Numerous times I've been the only on in the CFS lounge.

About 2 weeks ago I was the only person in the Manaia Lounge, Christchurch international, apart from the 1 attendant.

I've never seen a lounge fill up so quickly than the Mania Lounge prior to QF46. A few weeks ago I was the first one in, took a seat around the corner where the big screen is and settled in. Wouldn't have been 5 minutes later I wandered out to get a drink and I swear there was not a single seat free!

I had the QF Mel F lounge to myself a few years back after checking in for JQ29.

 

[im.daniel]

Does having the lounge in places like SPN and VTE all to oneself count?

 

[serfty]

I had the QF Mel F lounge to myself a few years back after checking in for JQ29.

Had the old QF MEL First lounge to myself in 2005, just before the 2am'ish QF31 departure to SIN.

 

[froggerADL]

I had the MYY lounge to myself earlier this year. I was actually surprised they had a lounge at all. Almost had the flight to MZV to myself as well!

I've also had the MEL F Lounge pretty much to myself for a couple of hours too.

Have been the first passenger into the CBR J lounge but that only lasted for a minute or two.

There have been times where I have been the only person in the BNE business lounge late in the evening. A few times I have been asked to move to the Qantas lounge and the other day both lounges were closing and I was asked to leave.

When Virgin first opened their lounge in CBR a few years back and had the promotion of allowing Qantas Platinums access I visited the lounge and I was the only person in there at the time.

I forgot but I have been the only person in the SIN QF lounge before a CX flight SIN-BKK. They closed the lounge and allowed me to stay inside while they were cleaning. Even brought out some champagne for me as well.
