This is a slightly peculiar message since the last couple of reviews, including my very recent one, have refuted claims that food and beverage have been scaled back substantially. In fact, I'd argue to the contrary. Without the lounge pass it is not the same proposition as a hotel in terms of value, but suggestions that the lounge is somehow a worse proposition is simply not the case. It is different but certainly the drink provision is stronger than ever.
