In the Plaza Premium lounge, no distinction or separate area for LP, even after asking. I thought there was a private/VIP area in here? Or did that go away when this lounge was transformed from Skyteam to Plaza Premium?

Not a big deal as the lounge is empty, but it's definitely not what I was expecting on my first LP trip!
Look what I posted last december :

This is how LP pax are treated in this lounge which is a total shame . You're lucky if the lounge is empty because every time I go it's packed.
The private VIP room you are referring to was on the upper floor of the former Skyteam lounge, and it's been reported recently that this floor will become a Saudia lounge. So it's not accessible anymore. In any case, this room was nothing special apart being out of the crowd. But there was no special catering or services of any kind as far as I remember. Overall the LP experience from LHR had nothing to write home about, but is even worse now with a very mediocre lounge experience in the middle of off the lounge pass holders.
