Better Clubhouse experience?
Next week, the missus and her team are meeting the man in charge of all things Clubhouse. She's been working on a technology which--if you download the app, and switch it on--works out where you are in a building very precisely.
If that sounds dull and nerdy, think how it might be applied:
* you walk through the clubhouse door and rather than faff with your boarding pass, your photo zings up on the receptionist's screen and they just wave you in
* barman has a glass of your favourite waiting for you
* if the lounge isn't announcing, the computer works out where you are in the airport vs. the gate and timing, and buzzes to remind you that you really do need to be hustling for the gate
...and possibly quite a bit more.
So that's the question: what would improve your experience of the clubhouse, aided by an app that knows where you are in the airport?

Cowshed Spa
It would be great to be able to secure an appointment at the Cowshed Spa with an app rather than hurrying to get there to maybe be able to get my hair cut.

Never had to wait very long to get into the Clubhouse, the Ladies have all the people they are expecting by flight on their touch screens, and it doesn't take long to order a drink.
I think VS have many far more pressing issues for their IT Dept. to get sorted - Website update, anyone?
