Clearly being frequent travellers you should have appreciated the disruption you were causing and how you were collectively ruining the enjoyment of others. Several CX passengers were annoyed. You could have kept your bags to one side and not hogged all the seats. Knowing the F lounge was small you could have gone to other lounges. Well the Ł100 point came from a group member shouting it across the lounge. As i said it was all quite indignifying to observe. Perhaps none of you realise it. A lounge is not a party bus. Perhaps you should have saved that for the main terminal area or restaurant. Let’s see how CX deal with it.
Having spent 2+ hours in CX F lounge, late Saturday morning, I can second every detail @flyuk has stated. There were seats available in all parts of the F lounge, although there seemed to some short waiting for seats in the restaurant at times. Empty bottles were soon replaced by the attentive staff, who actually were expressing their happiness over being able to serve more guests than usual.
Thank you to everyone who was there for an enjoyable FT Do! It was certainly an interesting one.

That sounds like a good use of time. There's some good TP run fares that appear to be as valid for Kahului as they are for Honolulu. OTP-PHX with a HEL shuffle still sounds a little brutal to me. 1-2 days beach/pool in Hawaii would do much to ease the decision.
Thx to all for your friendliness over the GIB weekend (mainly in lounges and planes for me rather than bars and restaurants). I had a great time. My legs are sore. Hope to meet many of you again in future.

Dare I suggest Malaga? Ticks all the boxes and probably little chance of having to land in Gibraltar instead!? :-D the Adventurous amongst us can route via MAD for more Tierpoints and the possibility of FLUB for two hours..... some GREAT places to eat and drink in the city.... and you can always find very cheap sherry!

Malaga is a great destination, dirt cheap if you time it right. I'm going again in late November.
But Kiev would be a great do. Reason? There's a fantastic aviation museum for the avgeeks, very hands on, full of old Russian airliners and cold war jets. And you don't need a visa for the Ukraine.
Also I believe there is decent food and booze.
