Have you been charged for a shower in the al safwa?
Fortunately not as I have not needed to use one. Then again OMAAT has had it clarified when he asked https://onemileatatime.com/review-qa...s-lounge-doha/

But even in the spa the showers are free.

Also, unlike the BA Spa the treatments at the QR lounge are actually that...treatments. I stopped even bothering with the BA Elemis years ago given its so brief and they kept hitting me up to buy products. Anyone remember the old Molton Brown days when it was an actual proper treatment, I recall around 30 minutes on a proper table?

Wife not offered the same.

Is this a new thing or has someone in the spa gone off piste.
Did it come with happy ending?

Speaking of uplifting massages in F, do TG still have that dedicated spa at BKK with proper massage suites for F pax (ie you have a private changing area and shower as an annex to the main massage room? Those hour long massages certainly made up at least a chunk of the deficiencies of the rest of that product.

Alas, I was too naive at the time to enquire about alternative endings so no scuttlebutt on that

I am sure for ladies of Elemis’s caliber it would be a case of “if you have to ask the price you can’t afford it”

In case this was not clear from the ironic answers about the source, the information about the showers being paid for is incorrect. I suspect something got lost in translation between the reviewer and the agent. As confirmed by KARFA, the showers are not a paid for service, and they are very nice though often far too hot even on the coldest possible setting.

Judging by the threads on here, it’s not an ending BA like to give to customers on their trips, just broken seats, IFE, copy and paste service recovery emails, lack of food but a guarantee of crumbs throughout their journey
