If they're going to go like for like then Elite should get the domestic business lounges. I expect EP1 to get Chairmans Lounge, and NZ Gold and Koru to access the Qantas club for the Qantas club members and their own gold members.
Busy lounges never really bothered me, I see the lounges getting busier with the codeshare agreement.
No comment yet from those who complained about this in the past.
I guess this is what many are all willing to put up with for a larger lounge network.
If NZ's alliance with CX / SQ etc. are anything to go by, I expect SP earn on QF metal to be equally stingy, like for like.
