Anyone need to be guested for lounge access? (Various dates/Cities)
 
I do this for strangers I meet on my travels often, so I figured why not do this here. I realize loads of you have status already... This is for all that don't and could use a drink, a meal, and a warm shower.

If any of your travels happen to coincide with mine...let me know.

SEPT 11th LAX 16:30 - 22:30
SEPT 15th SYD 6:10 - 9:30
SEPT 20th SIN 17:30 - 20:45
OCT 2nd SYD 11:20 - 13:50
OCT 2nd LAX 10:15 - 14:15
OCT 15th IAH 12:35 - 18:35
OCT 22nd LHR 9:30 - 13:15
NOV 6th IAH 11:50 - 18:35
NOV 7th FRA 12:30 - 15:10
NOV 16th BRU 9:00 - 12:10
NOV 16th IAD 2:45 - 22:00

Lounges are overcrowded as it is.Why would you do this?I realize you are trying to be nice, but if everyone did this there would be standing room only ...which is the case now in some instances....and the showers would never get used by those who are entitled!
It is supposed to be exclusive!

What's next? Tidbits for gate attendants? Chocolates for the crew? Ice cream for CanadianCow? What is this world coming to?

As this doesn't relate directly to either Air Canada or Aeroplan and since it seems poster has *A status I'll move their offer over to the Star Alliance forum.

If everybody here starts to show off and opens new threads with his/her lounge access this board will be useless.

Who in Spanish Hell is showing anything off? Lounge access isn't going to impress any of you arrogant, elitists with misguided entitlement that have "status" cause their boss has deep pockets. As previously stated... This offer is not for you.
It's for the nice hardworking gentleman who messaged me and gets to relax at LAX tomorrow.. Have a drink.. And make a new friend.

Some of you people are insufferable.

Why ? OP is only being generous to those who are less fortunate no matter they can't afford to fly F or C, or loss status or no status. Not to mention it is a good way to meet another FTer, who knows it would become a friend or even business associate of your company ! Ever heard about networking ?

Oh btw, do you even know we already have threads in major airlines forum for FTers to post who wants/offer lounge access on different dates and hours ?

Exclusive ? Entitled ?

You do know that no matter pax in F/C/*G are entiltled to 1 guest right ? :rolleyes:

Are you saying when you fly F/C/*G with someone, you had never once brought in your other half no matter bf/gf/husband/wife/friend/parents into the lounge ? You will just go into the lounge and dump your other half outside ? :rolleyes:

No lounge is exclusive not unless we are talking about LH FCT in FRA, SQ Private room in SIN, and TG F lounge in BKK. Even those lounges still have guest policy available, but have to fly on that particualr carrier due to locations.

Thank you... Good to see there's a few people here who are kind, can share, and don't take themselves too seriously :p

Sidenote - as I write this I'm on onboard UA 839 to SYD... And I gotta say.. This 744 is in ROUGH shape. Ha ha

I'd gracefully and gratefully take up on this offer at the next opportunity AND..

When I am in STATUS again, I would offer to a RESPECTABLE person as well.

Little courtesy and good karma HURT no one. Seriously!

Maybe we should have a MASTER thread for this where people can OFFER and RECEIVE. Isn't that what HUMANITY, THANKS GIVING and CHRISTMAS is about?

Those who dont want to be part of this.. stay out.

I do this as well. But I usually find the lounge meet-up thread for the airlines that operate the lounge and post there.

If I am going to be an a UC, I post on the UA forum. If I am going to be in a LH lounge, I post there.

A bunch of FT folks were flying GF out of ORD on Christmas last year and we ended up with quite a party in the GFL at ORD. Everybody had a good time and the staff had a blast as well.

Hopefully our paths will cross as we travel and I can buy you a drink or host you into a lounge. Thanks for being thoughtful!
