But the cost of getting to the airport just to have some free food and wine would surely outweigh the cost of having the equivalent free food and wine in town.
So, not only is it theft, it's also stupid.
Indeed. I'm in Frankfurt a lot, which has probably one of the top F lounges in the world. Now Fankfurt itself is not the most happening place in the world, but there is no way I'd choose a free entry to the FCT over any of the great restaurants in town, never mind blocking thousands of $ for the privilege!
