In Reply to: Airport lounges - word of advice posted by minooch on Tuesday, 19. September 2006 at 18:04 Bali Time:
I was refused entry to the Premier bc I didn't have an "invitation" wherever the hell they come from and I wasn't flying business class! I went to Prada and the keeper of the gate told me I had to pay $60A pp! I negotiated down to $45A for the both of us and although I felt this was still a bit steep my partner was awfully unwell and I just wanted somewhere for her to lie down and chill so I succumbed. Normally we would have spent the evening in a restaurant in Seminyak but this was the time to check in early and be comfy.
The food was ordinary, the lounges excellent, the booze free and I got to watch Oz footy with other compatriats which cheered me no end while Mrs. Spudz dozed.
We were waiting for our call for a 10.45pm flight which didn't happen and at 10.15pm we decided to board anyway and we just made it in time to depart.
Overall, I would use the facility again bc of the comfort afforded, particularly if comfort is a factor. Compared to waiting in the airport itself it's worth it.
What I would like to know is how to get an invitation to the Premier lounge so I could give that a rating sometime.
