Good one. Gift v.s no gift. Maybe only P1 receives the bag for the extra inconvenience.

Breakfast - I am gonna guess that muesli. and pancakes will be there. Waiting for you to find out @EuroFlyer !

I didn't receive a gift as a lowly WP but then again, I'm flying EK F so maybe that doesn't count, either. Drinks options seem to be very similar to what was on offer in the OG F lounge (that Lallier really isn't great) but I diidn't get a proper look at the menu.
The space is OK, not very full at this time. I'm super early because of work but I was told I could stay as long as I liked, however, the Emirates lounge would open soon and may be a better option 🤣 I appreciate honesty.
 
Currently in the lounge. In short it’s a zoo. Been waiting 30 mins for a coffee and food who knows. Also not a free seat. I suspect it’s busier than normal with the a380 and it being a Saturday. Brekkie menu is scarce and no sides. Anyhow still better than being outside in the terminal

What was the gift? A cold coffee?

Agree, wonder if it's because (I guess) they don't have fryers there?

Can’t be. They are serving fries on the all day menu. It’s a mystery how the menus came to be, missing some key dishes and including some odd ones.
 
The gift was some cosmetic type items, interestingly only given from what i could see to plats (p1, chairmans) or first, i guested a colleague in who is gold flying business and got nothing. Typing this in the sanctuary that is a almost empty F lounge in LAX before my next flight

and a FB photo I saw, Lagaia unedited cream, eye mask, "calming water drops" and the like.

I'll be there later this month, but dropped from P1, so doubt I will get the gift 😭
