The Lounge - Perth

[crazydave98]

Sandgropers and frequent visitors to the west will be pleased to hear that we announced this morning that we will open The Lounge in PER in April next year.

As well as our own guests there will be some arrangements with Skywest for customers on their network.

cheers

CrazyDave98, thanks for the info. I would be interested to see what the Skywest arrangements will be.

Here's a hypothetical situation; a person may be doing FIFO to a site up north, sometimes it will be a commercial flight (XR) but sometimes it will be a chartered flight (still XR).

Would said person get access on both occasions?

Entirely up to XR and in the case of the chartered flights its arrangements with the mining company - we will accommodate any requests as it's in our interest to ensure decent utilisation of the facility.

Thanks. Once I start doing the trips I'll enquire, as it may be worth getting the annual membership (as charter flights won't earn miles ).

Interestingly enough Pilbara Iron (Rio Tinto) have recently changed from National Jet to Skywest for their flights to Hope Downs and West Angelas. So they would probably be looking for lounge access for their exec's and the frequent flyers, as offered by Qantas for the Paraburdoo flights.

That being said though most of those flights are charter flights and thus don't earn any miles... IME anyway.

I would still like to see one in HBA... I know low usage. I mean the QF club there is the size of a shoe box -

Would it be a thought/business proposal that a company sets up their own Frequent Flier lounges that can be shared by QF/DJ, and allow access to those that are entitled, and bill back entry fee to QF/DJ?? They could also charge an admit fee to other non club members that wish to use the facility.

I could see this type of facility working well in smaller airports that don't have enough demand for QF/DJ to have their own lounge, but would still like to look after their members??

Sorry, went a little OT
