OW sapphire and emeralds have the same lounge entitlement as QR FFP equivalents. That's all QR is required to offer under the OW agreement.

20 year anniversary, eh? Maybe a 20% off sale on OWE tickets, similar to the 10% off sale we enjoyed on the 10th anniversary?

I'm not entirely sure that's equivalent because BA Gold cannot access the Concorde room either... only those flying in First or with a Concorde Room Card (5,000TPs a year) can.

Nothing really tangible from the announcement. Some fancy new graphics, a new tagline, and a digital make-over. Only real thing being announced was OW designed and managed lounge possibly being rolled out later this year. Lots of alluding to possible new partners or new members...

Time flies - 20 years already. I could remember the day OW was announced. In QF treasury dealing room we were told to watch Reuters and Bloomberg screens for the announcement, by the 3 founding members AA, BA and QF.
