It's all one liners with fancy words, hot air and a slight whim of them and us.
I have in a previous post tried to display why it might be reasonable with more leniency in etiquette when lounges are at question. But, I frankly get the notion that some people here think that making an argument about behaviour in a lounge equals ones behavior in daily life as a general. It does not.
It's a lounge where people are tired. Not a restaurant, not a café, not a hotel, not a workplace..a lounge.
And if lounges has become so fancy that they can not cater for weary travellers, then yes please arrange the transport!
Good manners has nothing whatsoever do do with class. There are plenty of Ill mannered individuals who have had the luxury of opulent upbringings. Conversely, there are many of us from working class or difficult backgrounds who have the respect for others to treat them with courtesy.
I wonder why there is a desire to twist this into a case of moneyed upbringings v that of those less privileged.
