A family member who has been guested in on occasion by their CL boss says it’s worse than other the regular lounges, because you have to sit with your boss!

OT: it would be a bit weird to not sit with your boss if in the same lounge and travelling on the same flight!

True but its more awkward when you are travelling with your boss and he ditches you at security for the CL - as was par for the course a few gigs ago - but then you are seated next him 30 mins later on board.

That’s a bit sh$tty.

I bumped into my former CEO at the SYD VA priority screening point once and he offered to take me to The Beyond Lounge (as it’s known now). I declined because I was meeting colleagues. As soon as I entered the zoo that is the regular lounge, I realised it was a stupid decision….

Not necessarily. Boss likely to seated in J while the worker could be in Y

Possible but not the case for he situation I was referring to. Both times I was next him in whY in row 4 or 5. Company policy didnt allow even the execs to fly J on SYD-MEL and at peak times J is always full so no complementary upgrades.

His EA would link our bookings, as we were required to share an uber from the Melbourne CBD office to MEL airport when on the same flight. So awkward is the only word.

This guy was famous for even ditching others at his own level. So Id just head off to J lounge and then act like I didn't notice he'd snuck off when we'd meet again on board.
