It matters little for me as QF NZ does not have any domestic lounges anymore to use this benefit.
I must say that I have used it in Australia when I had to wait for a colleague arriving on another flight.
All these changes, did they use the word "enhancement", are obviously the result of the surveys we have completed.
You know, crowded lounges = removal of WP free loaders without onwards flights on QF, ow or JQ.
