Review: Baku Airport Lounge

Nice airport

I'd bring in an obvious looking clipboard with 'review' scorer sheets, carrying it facing outwards. So when they ask you to put your camera away, make then nervous by scribbling on it and leaving 😀

No, it's "bloggers" who are on power trips who have no right to snap any photos inside lounges and airplane cabins, then publish them by the use of abused digital platforms with appended ads as if the IP were their own. lol.

Great report, however! Keep 'em coming before social media is disrupted and never comes back (I hope).

@Ben which leg of the mammoth trip are you currently on? You've returned to New York and then travelled to LAX in United. I saw the sneek preview of the Swiss First Class to LAX. But how did you get to LAX?

* I meant how did you get to Zurich?

This may have been asked over the years but outside the US (and North America in general) there are much stricter privacy laws. Don't the faces of people need to be blurred out before publishing them when you are showing where they are and roughly when they were there? Is the lounge really 'public'? I would think that Lucky would have had some legal counsel already to ensure that publishing faces is okay but I figured I'd ask.

do you not stop to think you make people extremely uncomfortable when you walk up into a lounge/hotel/cabin and start snapping away like some kind of paparazzo on a mission? cant agree more with Melissa's comments above. its not an employee on a power trip its simply policy and common courtesy....something you clearly lack

@Andrew get a life mate. Pethetic response. It's the employee on a power trip. I've worked in airports for 20 years.

@melissa same message to you . You're happy enough to read and peruse the pics on here. If he didn't have pics I don't think anyone would bother. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

@Elijah......pathetic*

"However, they couldn’t print our boarding passes to New York, which I didn’t think much of at the time."

Oh boy, drama ahead?

@andrew ...Oops bloody hell. Didn't have my pince nez in. Thanks for correcting me.

I don't know if I was brave so much as "highly motivated by coffee." 😉

Collocation is fun the world over, the US and Iran ambassadors are neighbors in Mexico City, just one little ivy covered wall. I hope they sit out with a night cap and chat each night over the fence 🙂
