Lounge Meet Thread?

My search skills might be failing, but I was wondering if there's a lounge meet thread to be used by those flying on CX or using CX Lounges at various ports.

Any DM's kind enough to offer me access to the F lounge?

...JK Won't be flying CX for eight weeks.

I would be happy to contribute. I (almost) always travel alone and I'm happy to take fellow FTers into the F lounge in HKG.

Would be glad to help out, and meet some FTers in the process- anyone care to set a format for people to post in?

Travel with my wife half the time - can guest in one person on those occasions.

If you want to meet fellow FTers, you can try flight connect

Pay attention CX is watching. A friend of mine from Australia used to do this a lot with Qantas and ended up loosing his membership for basically over stepping the mark. He played by the rules but went a bit too far in what effectively was taking the micky.

Isn't this thread at odds with all the other threads we have complaining about overcrowding in the lounges? (Every second such thread going the extra step of comparing the Wing to a fourth-world bus station.)

I'm not fussed either way, but probably wouldn't participate (either as a guester or guestee) because it's too hard for me to predict with any certainty when I'm likely to get to the airport for any particular trip!

Given the other thread of personal information getting stolen etc we better close this thread and I don't think anyone will want to help out anyway

Why would this be an issue? Are we plotting something illegal against CX policy? CX policy clearly states: DM can bring in 2 guests every time, GO can bring in 1 guest every time. Every time means every time. Granted this doesn't happen often, but if a DM wishes to treat two people to go into F lounge with him every time he steps into the F lounge, that's playing by the rules, and CX should honor their own policy.

The only reason I won't join is my schedule is erratic, full of last minute changes. Sorry, but you guys have fun.
