having said all that, i would prefer to travel with work than not
Fair points all

And with today's announcements, who knows what the 'regular' domestic Qantas Clubs will become. I suspect with the 'new' WP/J ticketed lounges only being targeted for MEL/SYD/BNE that the current QPs in those ports and elsewhere will continue relatively unchanged (though maybe less crowded
). It would be a little difficult, I suspect, for QF to tell WPs/J tickets that "we have one class of service for you in MEL/SYD/BNE QPs and a lesser class in other domestic (and maybe international) lounges".
And I'll just get what I can get!
