Yeah, I was there yesterday. Such a bad lounge, but beats the BUD lounge anyway! Sadly I don't have DC or PP.

Platinum recognition on these flights (my first Platinum flights) was pretty strange. When I told them what I wanted to drink, they served me the champagne and just didn't do the payment part. Nobody actually said anything.

The same was with the newspapers. When the newspaper trollie came to my seat, the FA just looked at me.

On top of that my biggest platinum perk was that the seat slided away when I was leaning backwards. The FA told to keep my belt tight and I'd be fine.
