The worse F lounge I have ever been to.

F lounge closed when TAM moved to the new terminal last month.

But the new J lounge is beautiful.

Loving the TR.  Maybe it's time to have guest TRs on DDMS?  Gonna have to clean up some of the airline acronyms first though.

It truly is.
Great report AJ.

3 words: I hate you
In all seriousness, this TR is awesome!

Last line was epic! Pablo Escobar great choice of a name - So you didn't get to experience the TAM first class lounge at all in GRU?

You owe me a new keyboard. AND a coffee.

Never laughed this hard when I woke up this morn! Think I cracked a rib!

+1. I think people would love it. Cleaning up the acronyms should be hard with Replace All in Word.

as I said "he should be editor"
or Editor in Chief
OR is it the Wife ?

Although I was AFK the whole day, I knew this is the thread I had to catch up on.  I just dropped my soda and cookie. My wife thought someone died...but I was laughing hysterically.  Now, to be domesticated.

OT but did you have your soda and cookie in the same hand or two separate hands?

I flew TAM First F GRU-JFK back in July, right after the World Cup, was the only passenger in F...
the F lounge was super small and crowded even with just a few F passengers, but they did have the largest Flat screen TV in the Western Hemisphere or so it seemed... I think it was 100 inches... food / beverages options were kinda sad for a F lounge, but god that flight was good, I've been the only passenger in First / Business on a few short flights, but only passenger in F on a 10 hour flight hehehe I'll miss TAM F...

I don't even have the words to describe my amazement. Just awesome TR. The more I read of these the more amazed I get.

[thaber]

I believe we're still missing the last installment. Nu???

[chff]

Still to be continued?

[AJK]

Yes, of course.

Just need to find the time to sit and post. Hopefully will be all finished by end of next week.

[HowYaDoin]

Yes, of course.

for a guy that found the time to disappear on an airplane (or 5) for 36 straight hours you sure are busy
