And the lounges are quiet, and have excellent food and booze (e.g. real champagne, not the cheap bubbles NZ pour). And out of Dubai they even offer a free porter service from the kerbside in their premium area, this was a godsend travelling with our family and loads of luggage (we were in Y but QF Gold gave us this benefit).

its a very slick operation.
