Paper towels enhanced from lounges?

[FlyingKangaroo]

Pathetic. I wish I'd known this on my visit to the Int'l J lounge last week and I would have taken a stack. I always take one or two extra to use to wipe my face on long flights (as after all, even in J, the hot towels are long gone). The amount of oil one's face can manage to produce on a long-haul flight made having that extra-absorbent saviour literally in my back pocket feel downright luxurious.

Just returned from a return trip in Y on JL this week and the difference in service level is embarrassing. Then again, that's the thing with shamelessness: when you don't have any shame, you don't care.

Looking ahead, I'm flying to the US in J on FJ next month and other carriers on several future trips where in the past I know I would've defaulted to QF for the status credits and points. The punitive treatment of partners for status credits and lack of reward seats doesn't matter given status increasingly means less and less and classic rewards are nowhere to be found.

You’ve dashed all my aspirations to ever set foot in a CL with this utterly prosaic photo!!

I thought they would have had staff on hand to present the refined CL denizens with fine Egyptian cotton towels before offering an express manicure.

“Shall I feed sir some grapes in the meantime?”

MEL FL, just for you @1022

All good in the SYD F lounge this morning, though it would be a crime if they were enhanced from this lounge (sadly, wouldn't put it past them though)

Well, they've enhanced decent champagne away too. What they serve (laillier) is the most awful champagne I've ever tasted. Cheap and nasty.
