Now you walk up the stairs to the reception area- Left is the Flagship Lounge and Right is the AC.
No major changes, although at midnight work was still going on- so don't plan for it to be quiet, a lot of banging.
I sure wish they would make the Flagship Lounge the AC lounge as the views from the AC lounge are so much better.
I've been to the Flagship lounge a few times this year, and I thoroughly enjoy it, I find the seating comfortable and their drink selection pretty good. The buffet was blah, but I thought the food looked much better than the One World Biz Lounge- I had enough time to visit all 3 lounges. So I ate at the QF F Lounge ... The reason why I like the flagship, they have really nice bottled water, perrier etc and I usually take one for the trip. Qantas F does not even offer that.
Looks like they are in the middle of building the dining room- But who knows when it will be completed
I tend to follow the same route you went. I usually book a long layover before my international trips (4 hours). When landing, I'll head to the QF lounge, have a beer and eat there. Then I head over to the Flagship lounge because as you said they have a better drink selection and the availability of the bottle water is great.
When I fly again in August I think I'll spend a little more time in the QF lounge if reports aren't better for the AC.
