I am a CX F Lounge lover. I am far from surprised that the Champagne has disappeared and that it needs to be requested - I have watched from the "Throne" in the corner as people made pigs of themselves swilling three glasses within minutes. I might add that on a previous visit installed in the same seat some Hammersmith "Royalty" commented to his consort in his idea of a stage whisper

"What is she doing in My seat??" I generously assumed that no one reading this would be so tacky and vulgar. However on my last visit things had changed considerably. Nothing was being cleared, they were running out of glasses and for that matter seats of any description. The place looked like a tip with the flotsam and jetsam of the Upper Echelons of OneWorld Elitism. Riff and Raff were having a field day. Our American cousins were there en masse and to top it all the screens were not working. The donkeys brayed on their phones and their offsprung and tricks du jour screeched back at far too high a volume. We went and had a pleasant lunch in the "restaurant" which is what they do best.

Frankly it was no better than the T5 FLounge in the main Lounge and why anyone would traipse over to T3 to sample this is beyond me. Stay in T5.
