Well it was certainly worth the wait

The staff here are the usual crowd, so as wonderfully attentive as usual.

Fairly quiet now the Barbados flight has been called

PS. The Tristan driver dropped us off outside the Premier Inn

Enjoy and have a great trip

Enjoy and safe onward travels.

Have a great flight and a lovely holiday.

Bad news is no shoeshine man now

Good news is Brambles and Redheads are as good as ever

Buns,

Hope you are enjoying the new facilities and have a great flight.

Pity about the shoe shine man, is he gone forever ?

Was looking at prices over the weekend and they are pretty horrendous - hopefully that might mean a sale is on the way and I will get to sample the delights of Gatwick's new clubhouse soon.

Yes, the shoeshine man has gone forever - unless we start a V Flyer campaign to have the facility reinstated

I have to be honest, little other signs of "Delta enhancements" and the staff are making everyone feel special

I would hardly say the loss of the shoeshine man is a "Delta Enhancement", can't blame everything on Delta. Anyway, not to detract from your trip - enjoy your time!

Have a great trip Buns, no sign that the shoeshine man has been redeployed on other duties within the CH? He was such a nice guy, shame if he's just been given the push.

As many regular visitors to the Gatwick Clubhouse will know, there was never just one person covering the whole time.

The shoeshine service was contracted and (and some of the guys shared duties with Heathrow). From what I understand, the contract was not renewed when the new Clubhouse opened

Like you Whitehorse, I always enjoyed my chats with the various guys who all did a sterling service, but I suppose the call for shoeshine services in a predominantly leisure Clubhouse was always going to be limited - hence the decision
