I was in the Melbourne domestic QP yesterday. Noticed a large bottle of Chivas Regal on the bar and a card which presumably detailed a promotion of same. As it was only 12:30 I didn't approach the bar - it would have been too depressing to learn that in half an hour the patrons would be sampling Chivas while I sat in WHY back to CBR.
Of course now I am curious. Is there in fact a Chivas promotion going on? Is it just in MEL? When does it end? (I have to go back to MEL in a couple of weeks.)

(I guess if I actually pulled my finger out and attended an FT get-together I might be more aware of vital information like that.)
Wish the int QPs would do likewise.

The J lounge was an L shape with the F lounge 'filling' the angle in the L to make a rectangle. I guess they have closed it; maybe opening it all out into the one room.

LAX T4 F Lounge remains unchanged from previous reports, except the JW Gold bottle was almost full. But after pollishing off the Noble One on the way over (I was only one partaking), I decided I would pass on the scotch at 7am local time.

Good news for those of us who can't get into the F lounges. The Scotch gods may not exactly have smiled upon us, but they have grinned in our general direction. When I was in the SYD INT QP on 26/11 they had Chivas Regal rather than JW Red.

HP is disappearing from DOM QP's lounge by Lounge .. 
It's gone from MEL & BNE, what next ...
In MEL it has been replaced by Blonde; Bluetounge has been a reasonable alternative, but I am happy to note that tonight I am drinking Coopers Pale Ale. ^
On Another note, the last time I was in the AKL Int Lounges, MACs had again disappeared, replaced by, you guessed it, Pure Blond!

Some of us need the low carbs provided by the 'Pure Blonde'
