If it was Qantas rebranding lounges as non-club , then that would be different since Qantas does have control over its own lounges
It would be annoying to have this issue with club membership, but Qantas hasn't, that I see, misled anyone
Come on Dave, that is a cop-out. QF are advertising that you get entry to BA and AA lounges, sure it is in the fine print that it is Terraces and Executive Club Lounges, but that is not the point, the bold print says access to BA lounges.
If you can't get it at BA's largest hub, then it is untruthful advertising. And it isn't actually QF's fault, since they are pursuing the matter with BA.
After all, what is to stop them rebranding QP's as "Flight Deck Lounge's" and then denying QP members admission, based upon the fact that they bought Qantas Club admission, rather than Flight Deck Lounge admission?
It doesn't work that way, a reasonable person, buying QP membership, where admission to BA lounges was a benefit, would reasonably expect access to BA lounges at their major hub - T5.
BA rebranding it just doesn't cut it, sorry Dave.
