As I specified a J class pax, they won't be travelling F.
So that means even a J class pax with a gold card, but less than 5,000 tier points, has to take the hike.
And if that passenger is travelling on a flexible ticket to Tokyo, they will have have paid £6,449 for the privilege.
It's ludicrous, isn't it?
At the other airports I use, the lounges are placed for the convenience of the pax, not the shops.
