Also, the beauty of seeing people flip out in China is the Chinese just pretend to not understand a word the foreigner is saying.

Until such time that the foreigner takes it completely over the top, and just gets arrested.

Along_the_Wire Agreed. Got a load of jip from some overbearing armed police there once.

They could not comprehend that I was perhaps more interested in tending to the patient on life support in the plane than immediately giving them my passport. I have flown out of there maybe once. No desire to go back

      bosstrabs Not really schadenfreude here, but reading that just makes me buzz that I won’t be getting on a flight possibly ever again.

        Mad_Cyril As above, it’s the standard Business Class lounge for a lot of airlines.

        Typically ones that don’t have a serious presence at Manchester e.g. Chinese airlines.

        Loads of bellends with Turkey Teeth lined up waiting to pay to get in.

        Do I pay with my own money? Yes and no, in a way. My employer reimburses up to £1600 for a trip home twice a year. My ticket back for Christmas was £2100 round trip, so I did add £500 of my own coin.

            Didn’t realise served as BUSINESS for some airlines.

            It’s a fucking clown show.

            You should have dropped Benson’s name to get in a pwopah lounge.

            Bolton crew going to see their wives for New Year?

                Mad_Cyril There isn’t really a proper lounge in T3 anymore - the BA one was very poor and now there’s one that even worse a version of the Escape lounge. Hopefully, I won’t need to use it, although, I need to get a couple of hundred tier points before the end of March to retain gold, so might need a tier run or two.

                    T3 is a shithole , bottom of the pond. uk flights and budget airlines only.

                    Would rather get the train. Or sail

                      Do like how in the festive cheer thread we’re now talking about lounges.

                        Smallman1 TBF, what do you think the lounge access ratio of SuperProgressive fans is?

                        On here, it seems to be about 95%.

                          I have no idea Dave, I hadn’t given it much thought.
