QantasLink to Commence New Services Between Mt Isa and Townsville
Spent about 25mins in the new J Lounge in MEL this afternoon. Smells new still, though finished throughout. Opened at 5am apparently. Quick look round and seems nicely done, similar look to SYD. Little section behind the counter has some chairs with foot-stools to sit and watch the planes.
Didn't notice many people being asked for boarding passes though.
Food area small, but not a big crowd. Larger range of food, and were setting up for some hot food as well.
Not too crowded even though there were delays looming.
Went in with Mal on Friday, and it was very crowded, the food was lacklustre, and the poor lady at the door/counter was running around like a chook with its head cut off.
I was in the MEL business lounge this afternoon - the food was identical, but the lounge was noticeably less crowded. I took some photos for those that are interested...
The thing that really stood out to me was the size - I was expecting it to be much smaller...

thanks for the photos dot. it looks like the new J lounge at MEL is along similar lines to the ADE lounge, similar business areas. Hope to try it out soon one day but have done nothing but international travel the past 4-6 months. sort of used to the F lounges in MEL and SYD, it will take an adjustment to use the J lounge, LOL.

Re: MEL Business Lounge open
I was in the there (MEL) wed morning, thurs midday and evening (delays) and friday evening and quite liked it. I didnt find the food to be anything special or a world different from that of QP same goes for the service aswell - it wasn't bad just no different from the QP. The fact that it is a 'business lounge' is blatant to see in that the entire crowd were business types.
It seemed quieter though with more walls and petitions seperating areas gave greater privacy than the more open plan QP especially in MEL QP where rest/work/chat is impossible if you sit anywhere near the TV, food, toilets, paths to/from entry and exit doors due to constant foot traffic.
Reminds me alot of the Singapore QP and new ADE QP and similar stylings to MEL and SYD new intl. F lounges - lots of whites, glass marble etc. - hopefully QF sticks with this formula when updating the tiring MEL/SYD dom lounges.
Overall, not bad, hopefully will take some stress off QP at peak hours.
