I'd like to get some ideas on whether people think QC is worth paying for. I understand that for the most part I will need to decide if I think I will get the value out of it and that will, of course, be determined by how many times I expect to use it. But what I would like to know is what others think would be reasonable use for the money
Our members agree that frequency of use is a key factor – probably worth it if you use the Club once or twice a month. That’s about 40 visits a year. As a member noted
when the Melbourne QP was closed due to fire the other week, members were issued $30 vouchers as compensation.
So 40 x $30 = $1,200, which certainly covers the annual fee. (Incidentally, our GOLD members do qualify for our discounted Corporate rate -
more)
Another member takes a contrary view
I've been thinking that it actually benefits less frequent fliers more than really frequent fliers. I travel more than weekly and I just get to the airport in time to have a beer and board, often less. Infrequent travellers tend to get to the airport a good hour or more before their plane, so will get a real benefit out of lounge access.
And then there is the type of flying you do
If you are on a flexible fare doing the SYD-MEL run or similar on a regular basis, I would question its worth. However, if you are on best fare of day without flexibility, or you are doing red-eyes DRW-SYD or PER-SYD, or late night departure from SIN, HKG or NRT, then its value is far greater than the $30 voucher.
