I did have a nice glass of champagne and sampled some gin (great bartender BTW), before heading over to the Flagship Lounge, which had a surprisingly nice food and beverage spread.
I usually fly to SYD via the late night flight which I believe now leaves at 22:20. Considering roughly a 45-60 minute boarding, that would make 21:30 seem appropriate.
I’m usually able to eat multiple courses there. I land at 15:20 so will have ample time to relax there before heading back to AA FL. I’ve had great seafood and steaks at that QF lounge, far surpassing AA FL. That said, the drinks and open access to canned drinks/water is always great with AA.
