@davefl – assume this is the start of your South America trip. Have a wonderful time and safe travels.
It is and thank you. IB Express was on time for the 1st time in a week, had a bit of a baggage scare when it took 80 mins after landing to come out of the chute, now safely ensconsed in the lounge at the Madrid Auditorium which is a nice place to be and the wine is free flowing.
No upgrade from the king premium that I booked, but platinum lounge access is nice, glad there’s no conference/event going on today as it would be utter chaos.
Room has everything you’d expect with the usual number of stealable hangers, shaving kit, robes and slippers, and a complimentary mini bar with soft drinks, water and a single beer.
