As vflyers will know that I'm a regular through MAN taking VS flights to ATL, I'm usually through at least once a month.
I was through last week on my latest trip and though I won't be putting together a TR as the flight was uneventful, we did have two FSMs working in UC who were simply excellent from start to finish and a great team spirit was on display amongst the five crew working in UC.

However, a bit of change in the Escape lounge. We've had a dedicated VS representative for about three months now (though the staff member had phoned in sick on the day I visited and no replacement would be found at short notice) but I was told to settle in and enjoy the fully all-inclusive menu when showing my boarding card and the above card when ordering. I was told it was a new service for December so if up and running before I wasn't advised about it...
So all food was complimentary for travelling in UC. This included the full English, pancakes, Eggs Benedict and so on. Also included were the premium shelf alcohol (though sadly not Champagne..) even though I stuck to coffee and water fighting off a heavy cold and a cough.
So up until this month the food offer has been restricted to Bacon or sausage rolls, toast, pastries, fruit, yogurts, continental meats and cheese, breads and sweet treats.
So good to see this expansion to UC passengers and I quite enjoyed the pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup.
Sadly the lounge was really busy when I visited due to the large number of flights leaving around the same time though the team were directing all prebooked guests to the smaller Escape lounge back along the corridor to try and help.
Thought regular MAN travellers might appreciate the heads up.
