This would appear to a retrograde step for QF AND BA
Since there appear to be only two or three "Terraces" lounges left in the UK , the QC T&C are left looking like a marketing con. Of course Qantas have not been obliged to tell you of any change, since they haven't changed the T&C, and it's BA who have remarketed the BA lounges. But it still gets my
It's a retrograde step for BA as well, as they will find us expats looking elsewhere for our European and UK/USA travel. Surely loss of flight revenue will hurt more than loss of lounge access revenue from Qantas.
And once the new BA/QF schedules to AUS post March 2012 hit, and you want to go via HKG or BKK (which will mean BA metal ex UK and QF metal ex Aus), this presumably means you can have lounge access as you depart Australia but not the UK.
I'd like to think this was all a dream ... and wasn't true.
