    The First Wing

    Not long left on the old gold card, and today's flight is at a sociable hour so I've been able to take advantage of the new First Wing at T5.
    Check in hasn't changed much, but there's a bit more privacy. After the desks you turn right (not left like you used to) and head through the two security channels, on exiting them you walk about 10 paces and are in the First lounge, which you need to walk out of to get to the rest of the lounges and the shops.
    10 minutes from the driver dropping me off to sitting with a glass of fizz in my hand.

    MF, if you have a friend who has a gold card, get them to take you through.

    If I hadn't just dropped a few £000 on The Dog, I'd take the wife for a flight from here in the next few months.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

    I'm sure Mrs Fitzpatrick will toast The Dog when she's sitting there.

      Dilemma: You are at a busy provincial airport with 5 members of the ClientCo.
      3 have seats in the restaurant and have ordered food. The other 2 want to order food.
      Do you offer to take one of them into the lounge or leave them to the squalor?

        How close to renewal are you and do they have spending authority?

          2 months and I've just talked one of their clients into a 1 year project starting next year.
