This is a very odd response - you sound like my therapist.

I am not trying to move past a romance that I thought was the one. I am aware that those lounges have gone and are not coming back.

Unlike a past love, this is a business that has reduced the value of something that its loyal customers found valuable - this is not good for the business. To that end, are most people here going to likely be tempted to fly a different airline or terminal? Probably yes. Myself included. What we are doing here is having a discussion and highlighting the thoughts we all have. Many of us as a result may choose to send feedback in which summarises all of these thoughts. Others who haven’t used the lounge may choose to change their flight plans or experience it themselves to see if they agree.

You seem against the active discussion that is happening on a forum to discuss the topic named in the title. Are we all flogging a dead horse? No because many of us have visited the lounge in the recent weeks and are providing continued updates and feedback in hopes that it has improved. Please see the Concorde room thread that has been active for many more years with people sharing their positive, but usually negative opinions on the food as it has declined.
