Re: Qantas New Domestic Business Lounges

The idea of the paid product is to provide something extra to some infrequent travellers and for QF to derive additional revenue from that group of travellers.

The aim of the bus/plat lounge is to provide something that money cannot buy, and say thank you to the most frequent travellers (similar to the international first lounge rules). I think it is the right thing. However, whether or not QF have devalued the QC for gold ffs by selling too many QC memberships is another question altogether.

By the way, the bus lounge approach is also adopted by AA, with their Flagship Lounge product.
