Depends upon your priorities really.

Just do what I do, get two at a time, and then be drinking the second whilst lining up for the next two.

Thanks Dave.

In February I saw how eloquently you do that.

Gold Coast Lounge Closure

On 1 August 2008, the Gold Coast Qantas lounge will close.

Qantas will officially cease services to the Gold Coast from 1 August 2008, with the last service operating between Sydney and the Gold Coast on 31 July.

Hardly surprising

I wonder if NZ will jump in now and 'announce' a new Koru Lounge at Coolangatta?

Will be interesting to see if there will be further QP closures...

Cheers

On that same page this line is disconcerting:

A new Oberoi lounge is planned for Terminal 2B and is due to open late August 2008.

I may have cause to go to Mumbai in September and I can almost guarantee that August 20088 will mean July 2009

2009 is much better than the wait for 20088

Not surprising at all since QF decided to pull out of OOL.

my BF just texted me from Sydney Domestic terminal. He is in the plat/business class lounge this morning. His initial thoughts are: Larger than he thought, not too crowded (even for a 6.30am Monday) Not a big enough food area.
I wonder if the melb one is open at the other end?

Does the one at MKY still exist? Was it ever a QF lounge? I've walked past it so often and wondered what is in there. Has anyone ever been there?

Went into Sydney Business one this morning. Spread out a bit more, similiar food, no kids [yes] Nothing out of the ordinary really.
