EU Decision Tightens up Interpretation of "Extraordinary Circumstances"
I am not worried about the regular Qantas Club lounge getting smaller or having less food, etc because I'm a WP and I always fly in J.
The Qantas Club has become its namesake on this forum. It used to be quite nice and comfortable but it is now more like a pub than a club. So many Mr and Mrs Stringbags can now pay their couple of hundred bucks a year and join "the club" so they can arrive early and stuff themselves full of cheap food and beer.
The new domestic J/WP lounges can't come soon enough for me...
Isnt this exactly what people expected - no net increase in space just a reallocation between pax based on status? In fact potentially a reduction of space due to the creation of more divisions/entry gates etc.
Yes, it's exactly what I expected - smaller QP with less facilities. It will be the first step towards AA type lounges where you get free tea/coffee (as bad as the coffee is) and as much trail mix as you can eat.

Not going to happen like that; DJ are ensuring it! (see me next post. )
BTW, I would never refer to the dark liquid that comes out of the taps in the AC's as tea or coffee.
That was one of the conjectures before the APA bid failed, both the original and the adjusted!
The landscape has significantly changed since then, especially in respect to lounge access; DJ flyers can purchase lounge access regular get status and really regular DJ flyers get complimentary access to "The Lounge".
Qantas have to compete - Certainly, there will be a difference in catering standards between the QP and lounges, but I'm sure spirits will be retained in the QP's, if nothing else than to make them different from "The Lounge"'s.
One thing I am thinking, is that "will CL's still exist at airports with both Qantas domestic business class lounges and QP's?".

Re: New Qantas Domestic WP & Business Lounges
Was in the SYD lounge today and noticed the works that were menitoned earlier in the thread. They seem to have dug up a square shape of the floor in the northern end, but left access around it (ie the old service desks that were hardly ever manned were accessible)... you could also walk all the way around if you chose to....... it looked rather strange and random...

Re: New Qantas Domestic WP & Business Lounges
Speaking to the BNE QP Manager a couple of weeks ago, the changes in BNE are mooted to start at the end of February. Looks like the FT AGM #6 will be our last one in the current styled QP.
Alas, looks like I won't be able to partake of the new Business Lounge unless I'll be flying in J....
