I've recently joined the ranks of the elite. The club of kings. ("What?" I hear you say, "I thought you were already Mr. Bigshot around town!"). Alas no, (well, in my mind, yes). As a result of my flying here, there and everywhere, Virgin Blue has awarded me a Gold membership to The Lounge, their business class lounge within airports around Australia. And yesterday I was able to make excellent use of it. I ended my day in Sydney early, so headed to the airport to attempt to get an earlier flights (bad idea on a Friday afternoon). Anyway, after being told that I wouldn't be able to get an earlier flight I decided to spend the next 2 and a half hours in The Lounge, where I was met with an array of goodies, including food, comfy chairs and the 2 most important things in my working life; electricity and free alcohol. Yes, free beer. Anyway, a productive and comfortable way to spend the afternoon in the end. Good on ya Virgin Blue!
