all accessible to QR

I wonder how these negotiations went- BA must have wanted something..

also if QR wants its 5 star rating maintained they have more than enough money from their government to pay Skytrax.....

I didn't say it made sense, just throwing out my thoughts. QR seems to have taken the approach of BA's Concorde Room: Fly first (aka FIRST) on our metal and we will let you in.

I just noticed that QR will let you use their LHR lounge if you fly J or F on other airlines, not just QR. Has anyone tried to get in? Wait, it is in T4 but most the other OW carriers are in T3. I'm guessing you couldn't just pop in for a visit, right?
