The lounges could be used by handicapped, elderly, ill or delayed passengers who were not club members and by eminent people and public figures whose appearance in a main waiting area might create a disturbance or by groups needing an assembly point. Japan Airlines maintains a Sakura Lounge - sakura is Japanese for cherry blossom - at almost all of the 52 cities around the world to which the carrier flies. The Sakura Lounge is for first-class passengers and offers free alcoholic beverages, coffee, soft drinks and fruit juice, snacks like peanuts and free newspapers and magazines. Expedited baggage handling is also offered to first-class passengers, who are given special tags imprinted with the words ''Door Side Loading.''
