I have just joined following the surveys I have had as a DM these last few days. Got to say I am so tired of the lounges being too crowded by people who are either from other airlines and not using their own lounges or as the front desks have told me the huge amount of silver card holders. I also understand that so many people have lounge access due to american express free cards as well. I am referring to HKG lounges now not the out stations. With only one F lounge available this year in HKG its has become a serious joke. I think lounge access for silver is too generous and anyone on the way up will soon make gold and by other airline programmes they would not get in before hitting the same level that gold offers.
