The "can guest" label is useless for those in the Premium Lounge as their access credentials permit guesting.


EDIT: What if one FlyerTalker is in the lounge as a guest so the "can guest" mark is necessary.

Or if they are bringing another guest already.

Anyway, if no one has been contacted re: guesting, I have a follow-up question: do these meet-ups happen very often? I guess they are discussed in PMs but I don't recall seeing any references to forum members having met in this "casual inorganized" fashion.

(So far there haven't been any meet-ups I could've made, and I haven't announced my own comings and goings because I can't edit the wiki yet.)

Opening of the CX F lounge at T3 seems to take place after all until our DO. Or it sounds like over at the CX forum. ^
Should we also try the No 1 lounge? I haven't tested it yet and folks seem to like the F part of it, with table service. What about throwing them a pre-order, as we a slightly bigger group

If the CX lounge will be opened by then I don't think we will have access to No 1 lounge with AY+ status anymore.
