A few weeks ago I covered how Delta Air Lines revealed plans to open a second Delta One Lounge at LAX, making it the first airport where the airline has two Delta One Lounges. This is interesting, as it’s clearly part of a broader growth strategy by the carrier at the airport. There’s now an…

Terminal 2 is horrible. Small and overcrowded. The terminals are supposed to be renumbered, which makes sense. Hence 2-3 will become 2 as it’s effectively one with two concourses. Delta should pay for the reconstruction so it matches the current t3, and just as t4 and 5 are being entirely rebuilt.

Ah, because those lame recliners aren’t actually D1… woah, that’s really, really lame.

You mean the aircraft that should have lie-flat but only has recliners? That one?? *yawn*

This one is so lame compared to the main one. Should’ve just kept to one, and actually open a D1 at ATL before 2029…

If service workers are paid properly, have sick pay, paid leave, and basic labor protections, then tipping stops being a moral necessity and becomes, at most, an optional extra. In that kind of system, bringing water, taking an order, or doing other normal parts of the job are simply what the wage is for. US tipping culture exists because employers underpay workers and expect customers to make up the difference. If that isn’t the case where you live, then there’s much less justification for treating tips as socially required. And the US has a corrupt criminal president who made one billion in cryptocurrency during his first year and has no interest in improving the lives of most people.

"And it's silly because you want to force a comparison between a first class lounge to a business class one. The fact that a first class lounge doesn't distinguish itself over a business class one, is more of a statement than anything." Yes, and you're responding to ME and a comment I made in which the OP was discussing lounges overall, including first and business. If you don't like the topic, stay out of it. Agree to disagree about the quality of the QF lounge. You pretty clearly have never been it but insist on popping on here to say nothing. But you also already have an opinion about the quality of the lounges at LAX. So do I. I honestly don't get two sh*ts if you agree with me. You've posted many times and don't seem able to put your employer to the side in your analysis but again... they're opinions. calm down. QF F lounge is easily accessible by any OneWorld elite (EP or PP) so yes, it is comparable since similar lounge access isn't on all alliances. Perhaps you've read about one of the reasons Lucky values Oneworld status so much?

You are actively sabotaging the cause you care about, it's so obvious and hilarious you're trying to argue it.

I'll be sure to keep your ethics of screwing over a service employee in mind to shove it to the man next time. And I'll be sure to tell the waiter that I'm doing them a favor. You're a moro...

It's not the job of the customer to subsidize the wages of the corporations that employ them. If you have so much empathy, the right thing to do is to actually stop tipping. You are further enabling companies to depress their worker's wages since they know idiots like you will tip them instead. If you weren't so hypocritical, then you'd realize that it's better to stop tipping, so that the minimum wage workers you care about can be better off long-term.
