Willyroo, the QF WP tribe were there 2 weeks ago and directed to the QP outside Gate 16 - I presume this is the "new" one you are talking about. I can't remember where the previous one was - it has been thta long since I've been there.

It was a zoo when we were there (on a Sunday, midday) and very soon they were having to turn pax away due to no seats.

the only positive was having a seat blocked off in our row..the joy of Plat status coming to the fore. Was the only spare seat on the flight!
