How do these battlers get into any lounge to begin with??? From what I understand of charter flights (and they are pretty rare in Oz) they are rock bottom priced which I would assume means they aint giving them lounge access, but they all turn up with "VIP Certificates". I can only imagine they pay a premium to the charter company when booking to have lounge access

Are the savings worth it? Because from reading the BA Board I certainly wont be hopping on a charter flight anytime soon.
