Hi m0hamed .... well wrt the lounges specifically, I did qualify with 'IMO' and I realise that others may see things differently. And in my defence, I didn't exactly denigrate the QF offerings at SYD or MEL ....in fact I was complimentary about them.
But my comment about the partnership actually related to the reciprocal benefits
overall. I happen to think that it's been of more use/benefit to QF loyalists than EK folk; but again, just my opinion FWIW .....
