I started to enter all my OW lounge visits and realised that if we all did that, the calendar would be very full and too hard to read, so just stuck to QC's.
**EDIT**
P.S Flashware
I have moved my Mar 4 trip out by one week, so unfortunately I will not be able to get you into the F lounge
No worries, BCL it is

Strange, I'm yet to be denied access to the calendar website from the 20 odd visits I've made .
I've had more problems with access to AFF or FT (or even QF) . ...
The whole idea is great in concept; it's just they need better hardware for the site. While I have not been denied access, it simply takes too long eventually load and to do anything.

I think you need to look at your end of the process. I just did the same thing and each page loaded in less than 4 seconds. and that is from my home ADSL connection, via an IPSec tunnel to the USA and out to the Internet from there. So even included the IPSec overhead.
OK - I just tweaked my flight planning spreadsheet et viola

For a test I tried through dial up. The first two steps above took a bout 15 seconds; the second crashed with an error after 3 minutes; never got to step 4. So the site seems quite unreliable.
Anyway, until some consistency arrives FOR ME it's too much of a pain for to use ...

Hmm, strange. I am consistently getting sub 4 seconds on all pages from that site. Never had anything more than 5 seconds. I have tested both via my IPSec tunnel and USA gateway and direct to my ADSL ISP. Both tracertoute at about 15-18 hops (until their firewall blocks) and around 410ms consistently.
The only thing I do a little different to most people is run a reduced MTU on my PC due to issues with firewalls blocking the ICMP Fragmentation Required return packets and to improve the efficiency of LLQ.
