    It’s not worth it - my account is flagged to not offer it as others appreciate it more - I know my colleagues do on the Wednesday returns. I’m happier with my regular 4c / d

    In other news this plane has done a 25 minute turnaround giving me time for a beer and Diet Coke prior to boarding

    Henriot fizz?


    Easy walk through First security and into the lounge, might go out to the shops later to get The Wife (tm) another Christmas present.
    As long as you are open 24/7 you will have no problems.

    Yard arms are for quitters

    Then an hour to kill in Schipol so I'll get a glass or 2 of champagne there.
    I remember it being like that at the Air France desk in Gatwick - one of 3 people on check-in, and after 18 months of flying to Strasbourg for my contract, it was more about chatting than anything else.

    ...anyway, must go now, permie member of staff is about to experience a lounge for the first time, care of me.
