Must have missed the opening in Apr. by a couple of days as I was last in MNL on Apr 8.
Here are some pics from last week, the lounge does get crowded & I had to ask a passenger to move his bags from the seats by the window.



Mostly J class pax in the lounge as I saw the same faces on-board, so not an issue of *G pax crowding the lounge.
No wait / long line issues at airport check in, I got there 2 hours before dep. Counters will stay open until about 40-45 min. defore dep. with MNL traffic taken into consideration, that is a really good move!
I just flew out of MNL twice last month on TG, and I must say it's lounge is still a sorry state. Crowded, hot, and with limited food and beverage options. Sure, it beats sitting at the lousy gates, but I'm sure not looking at repeating any experience on TG in the near future out of MNL
