:confused: did they not read the agreement before posting that it had been reinstated? Or did BA change the wording between the original confirmation and subsequent one?
bit odd me thinks :)

With immediate effect, QF Club members travelling on the routes listed below are now permitted access to the BA Galleries Club lounges in LHR T3 & T5 . QF Club members are entitled to bring one guest into the lounge.The card holder and guest must be travelling together. Eligibility as follows: QF Club members plus 1 guest travelling together on any BA or QF operated flight LHR to: BKK, HKG, MEL, SIN or SYD QF Club members plus 1 guest arriving together on any BA or QF operated flight from BKK, HKG, MEL, SIN or SYD and through connecting at LHR to any BA operated flight Access to the Arrivals lounge is not permitted |
What a shame! This is not a reinstatement! BA is fooling us!

I can understand BA not wanting BA only pax getting Galleries access without ever touching a QF code or metal flight.
I await further clarification from QF (Red Roo). |

Why, this is why I bought the QF Club (before reaching a status!). In the case I drop to LTS + my remaining QF Club I really wanted to use that feature!
The fact that BA does not have paid lounge access nor allows AA Admirals Club members access shows that they do not think this is a revenue/cost benefit policy for them. I have a feeling that QC access may never be reinstated to previous levels but will rely upon a QF intinerary. |
Stinks. :td:
My last flights UK-Oz were LHR-DFW-BNE-MEL due to limited redemption availability into Oz. Luckily they were J but could have just have easily have been Y+ for one leg (as indeed one of the outbound legs were). Don't BA/QF realize that not all of their UK/Australian revenue derives from the directest of Kanga routes - and that those that try to be most loyal to the brands will often opt for a slightly offbeat routing (eg via FRA previously) in order to earn/burn against said loyalty? (again!) Stinks Regards, BD |

Copying the bad news that RedRoo posted on AFF
That policy as found here - http://www.speedbirdclub.com/nl/all-...membersaccess/ Just gives me a 404. |
Page appears to have been deleted... hopefully signalling a revision?

I still think everyone is reading into it too much and those updates are in fact regarding passage for T5 PAX flying on QF codeshare services due to the fact QF no longer flies via BKK and HKG.

Tyrolean,
Once again - it was a Qantas Club membership - much like the location of Qantas Clubs can change (and there have been some recent additions in Australia), so can the offshore lounges and frankly there is more likely to be changes to the associated lounges that Qantas don't control. Anyhow only 5000 SCs to go for you till it doesn't matter! |

. Obviously the EC became a FF programme , but the paid membership remained available for renewals until a few years ago |

Denied again!
Well I tried my Luck again yesterday at T5 after a 4 hour delay by BA on the way to North America..
The "Computer says no" was the answer... I am a life memeber with Qantas club, and moved to the EU around 10 years ago and I am wondering if we can request our money back over 4500AUD at that time in today's equivalent to settle this matter as this is quite frustrating. In my opinion it doesn't matter if BA decided to move their operations to another terminal and rename their lounges but to all flights that were once originating to the same destinations operated by BA be it T1, T3 or T4 the Qantas members had access to. Now those same routes we have not benefit what so ever. and by the way through the lounge is called "galleries" in front of all of them it reads "executive club" (member gold and silver) so the naming conceptuality still remains. I truly don't understand why Qantas can not simply accept that very soon Qantas Club members wont have access to almost all worldwide BA lounges. The few times I get to travel nowadays is a nightmare for relaying on Qantas/BA relationship. Alternatively my fellow travellers, buy a cheap ticket with some other airline and pay for you lounges with either Priority pass or just pay per visit lounge. That's why I would like to have my moneyback so that I can pay per visit in the future without worrying about statuses and tiers... the world is evolving towards a pay per service culture... it seems cheers xin |
