Champagne Smuggling in JFK Flounge?
 
I just witnessed the most singularly bizarre thing I have ever seen in a lounge.

A woman carrying a large red purse just brazenly placed said purse on a table near the bar area, and deposited into it not only a bottle of Perrier Jouet, but also two champagne glasses, and then promptly departed the lounge.

And....as I type this....she has just now re-entered the lounge, with a clearly lighter purse.

Methinks there are some friends in the J lounge sipping on nicer champers at the moment. :D

Must be a massive purse!

Habemuspapam Dec 4, 2011 6:15 pm

The size of a large shopping bag.

Perrier Jouet isn't very nice.

I bought six bottles of the stuff over four years ago and still have one bottle left.

Point conceded, HIDDY, but I presume it is better than what they have in the J lounge. Of course, for all I know it went into a friend's carry-on!

Indeed......It's just not cricket no matter what it is.

Keep an eye on her and if she starts stealing the potato croquets inform the lounge staff.

Err, that's theft.

I'd report it to the lounge staff.

I was raised not to be a tattle-tale, (with exceptions, naturally,) but it's not my place to be more than a bemused witness in this instance. Let's hope the offending party reads FT.....shame enough, I dare say! :D

If you are at JFK at the moment, come to the CCR. And I will guest you.

That would be a laugh. :D

Mind you, if you do that sort of thing I guess you wouldn't be all that bothered seeing it posted on here.

It is only delayed for 15 minutes. If you'd like come here...

KenJohn Dec 4, 2011 7:32 pm

I am content with the PJ in the Flounge
