I had SFO F twice for myself for well over an hour, before flight 284.
Each time because left plenty of time and then limo picked me yet earlier up.

I had the Seattle first class lounge to myself and my partner for about 2 hours, SFO first lounge four an hour or so after arriving early and most memorably, I flew with my partner, his sister and her husband to New York for Christmas a couple of years ago, we flew EI via shannon and the EI lound in Shannon was basically our private area both way, most appreciated on the way back when she was heavily pregnant, not the best lounge but to have the whole place and staff to ourselves for the transit was great!
Oh yes and we had Colin Farrell on the plane with us ;o)

Flight was fairly full, with some Goldies in the first couple rows.

And how would you know that they were goldies?

I NEVER put my shiny card anywhere, don't even know where my regular one is. And after a recent incidence, , I am going to ask the check in agent NOT to put any F, CW or priority tags on my checked in luggage. They always claim that they come out first... bah humbug, mine are always the last. It never fails maybe because of connections. I think those kinds of tags creates temptations for looky loos into checked in luggage... But I guess one would know the color of my card by where I usually sit.

I was in the then newly opened DFW lounge in Terminal D for about one hour before leaving- nobody else there. In fact I was on an AA flight and wanted to see what the new lounge was like, so used the Open Doors policy to get and try out the new lounge.

I was one of the first guests at the TIA lounge (ever), and a very late guest at HRE.

I had the CCR at JFK to myself for two hours on the evening of Christmas Eve, 2007. Amazingly, I was the only F pax leaving JFK that night. Lounge to myself, F cabin to myself.

We had 30 mins there by ourselves, after we forced them to open it up ;) Unfortunately there was no drink available which put something of a damper on it.

My friend and I had the lounge at TXL to ourselves for about 30 mins on a trip last year.

Mumbai Galleries for about 30 mins... I checked in so early!
The water in the showers hadn't warmed up yet (though after a full days sight seeing in Mumbai a cold shower was a relief!) ... and the hot food not out for which I got a most gracious apology.
