What if I'm a Muslim or some other religion and I don't celebrate Christmas or the new year. What if I'm an atheist or agnostic or Hindu or whatever. Why should I have a festival, or two, rammed down my throat. I would differ and say it's not a pricing strategy, it's an ugly corporate money-grab.

Well, an hour return and add lets say two, 15-minute periods to get the passengers and their luggage loaded and offloaded. That's at least 90min.
They are charging a lot of money for guests to use the transfer provided and not potentially have the use of a decent lounge whilst maybe waiting an hour for the next transfer. I can see them being slated if people pay 2k a night and have to sit and wait for a transfer not accommodated in a lounge. Wonder if they strike up a deal with the Conrad Lounge...
