They knew what they were doing, but since they are almost certainly Gold cardholders they may well be quite familiar with how the lounge works.



I've seen this happen before, the BA (not BS) lounge manager will ask them if they have taken extra items, if they say yes then the manager will ask them to return excess items. They try not to escalate matters too much, preferring the embarrassment factor to work. However, I've no idea what happened here and I guess we're unlikely to find out unless the culprits choose to "out" themselves here. And that would be somewhat foolhardy!
Yeah, it sounds like they definitely planned it from the get-go. I wonder if they put themselves on Instagram or Facebook .
