点评:I First encountered the "Pay Lounge" in the Philippines back in 2013, Visiting the "Club Manila" lounge in Terminal 1. It cost us 750php each. Comfortable seats, plenty of food and drink available free fast wi-fi and big comfy chairs. This is me, so every year I went to the Philippines since, Club Manila. Great. Covid hit and I stopped travelling for a few years, returning last year, Flying QANTAS, and now i'm in Terminal 3. Well last year, there's no room at the inn, so no lounge for me, had to sit on the cold steel seat waiting for 3 hours for my plane. So this year, I got online to place a booking. "No Problem, there will be plenty of walk in available. Well...
This year, the price has risen to 1500php. So 4500php for the wife, child and myself. So that's $118 dollars that would get me a pretty nice Chinese meal at a restaurant, but in we go, The place is packed and we had to kindly ask someone to move so we could sit together, which they graciously did (Thank you again, whomever you were). The Wifi was terribly slow, the food was beyond atrocious. Something labeled Bolognaise, which was some sort of dried out brown stuff over almost dead penne. Italian Sausages, which looked like a white boiled sausage. Stale Bread, Some disastrous looking Minced spam and rice thing. and that was about it. I was a bit hungry trying the sausage, yuck, tried the pasta, yuck. My daughter had a slice of bread and a sprite, my wife a noodle cup, and myself a can of coke. I don't know what was in the water my wife used, but she was violently ill on the plane home, Next trip, I'm gonna get a noodle cup from the little snack bar downstairs and go sit on the tin seat. I'll save a hundred bucks and be much much better off. Whoever runs that lounge needs to be immediately sacked, and the next person needs to go and have a look how to run a lounge properly. In the interim everyone, stay away for your sanity and health.
翻译:我第一次遇到菲律宾的“付费休息室”是在 2013 年,当时我去了 1 号航站楼的“马尼拉俱乐部”休息室。我们每个人花了 750 菲律宾比索。舒适的座椅、充足的食物和饮料、免费快速无线网络和舒适的大椅子。这就是我,所以从那以后,我每年都会去菲律宾的马尼拉俱乐部。很棒。新冠疫情爆发后,我停止旅行了几年,去年才回来,乘坐澳航,现在我在 3 号航站楼。去年,旅馆里没有房间了,所以我没有休息室,不得不坐在冰冷的钢制座椅上等了 3 个小时的飞机。所以今年,我上网预订了。 “没问题,有很多人可以随意进餐。嗯……
今年,价格上涨到了 1500 比索。所以妻子、孩子和我一共要 4500 比索。所以,118 美元可以让我在餐馆吃到一顿相当不错的中餐,但是我们进去后,这个地方挤满了人,我们不得不好心地请别人让开,这样我们就可以坐在一起,他们很慷慨地做到了(再次感谢你,无论你是谁)。Wifi 非常慢,食物简直糟糕透了。标着 Bolognaise 的东西,是一种干枯的棕色东西,上面覆盖着几乎已经死掉的通心粉。意大利香肠,看起来像白色的煮香肠。不新鲜的面包,一些看起来很糟糕的碎午餐肉和米饭。就这样了。我有点饿了,尝了尝香肠,真恶心,尝了尝意大利面,真恶心。我女儿吃了一片面包和一杯雪碧,我妻子吃了一杯面条,我自己吃了一罐可乐。我不知道我妻子喝的水里有什么,但她在回家的飞机上病得很厉害,下次旅行,我要从楼下的小小吃店买一杯面条,然后去坐在铁皮座椅上。我会省下一百块钱,过得好得多。经营那家休息室的人应该立即被解雇,下一个人应该去看看如何正确经营休息室。在此期间,大家为了你的理智和健康,请远离那里。
