Thats a new one to me...you cant even sit down in there, where is this lounge then, ??? the only one I know is Club Manila on the 2nd floor, for Gulf Air Business and First...I havent seen any others, if its 400p its worth going in, you have to direct us then.
We were offered the "opportunity" of using this new lounge (ie a sales girl approached us and said did we want to use it for P400 each), but considering it still offered less than the basic facilities you would expect in a normal airport anyway, plus the Philippines definition of "comfort" is normally a far cry from the rest of the world's, we turned it down.

Actually, I was willing, but the wife wasn't - she can spot a waste of money a mile off, and reminded me that the "free food" was likely to be the normal inedible rubbish that we wouldn't normally give to a rabid dog.

You have to give them (NAIA) some token marks for trying, but please - when you've already had to pay P550 each just to USE the airport (not forgetting the escape tax filipinos have to pay just to get out), it's a bit rich asking for another P400 just for a non plastic seat. Customer feedback to NAIA - "take a look at Singapore and see how it should properly be done, then come back and try again".
