To all
A lounge before you go is a nice start but it is not the be all or end all for me it's the holiday and the people that make the holiday and you will gt to know them all soon enough.
I think I must be different to most travellers as I am a great chatter and sociable person but NOT at an airport, I like to be calm and quiet about the only time I am!!! and I just get into the flight zone and get on the plane, it's when I land that I come to life. I know not every one is the same and I can understand most people like the security of the lounge before hand.
Just look out for JY labels on bags or maybe the JY rep at booking in will let you wait till another JY traveller goes through then you can tag along with that person.
