It's only been 10 months since my last stay, and there have been some significant changes.
  • Breakfast is now served in the lounge.
  • I was given a "Club Lounge Breakfast Ticket" (Wait, what???) Who gets one? Not sure; note that the ticket has "C S G P D" printed at the top, with the "D" circled by the FDC, indicating my Diamond status (and/or the fact that I have a Lounge Pass). Does the "C" indicate that even a basic "Club Member" could potentially get one?
  • While not related to the Club Lounge experience (the subject of this thread), let me note that the mini bar is now free (at least free for me as a Diamond; don't know about Plats, etc). Six drinks: Asahi, Bud Light, green tea, sparkling water, O.J., Coke, replenished during my stay.


Club Lounge info



Club Lounge "Breakfast Ticket" (top) compared to the Restaurant ticket (bottom). Note the "C S G P D" printed at the top of the Lounge Breakfast Ticket.



Lounge breakfast layout. I give top marks for the quality, selection, replenishment, etc. All the best eats from the restaurant without the crowds.



Lounge breakfast layout. Sorry kamadzu4, no soft serve ice cream machine.



A nice touch. My only quibble: the dish may lose a lot of heat while it's being dragged up from the ground-floor kitchen.



Belly Happiness!
