Upselling Exec Club access changes many aspects.You end up with people who do not know how to behave in a Lounge. The "I'm drinking my money's worth crowd" and the "G string riding 2 inches above the pants line" crowd.Yes I am a snob but the point I am making is that the whole tone and atmosphere changes . You end up with a Qantas Club zoo. This used to be the best Lounge in Australia but the Sheraton Perth lounge is better (Deb..some Starpoints please?? ) Looks like the Sofitel Brisbane (formerly Sheraton Brisbane) is now at the top of my list.
