Sadly yet more inconsistency and incompetence (if not plain lying) from staff. The spa is not open every evening. On first being told by the P1 team that it was, and a booking was made, I received an apologetic email later to say actually it would not be open on the night I was attending, nor the next visit (about 10 days later).
Rock up and indeed it was closed. But told this was rare. The ‘girls were given the night off’ but assured it was open every night. When pushed, citing my exchange with the P1team, eventually it was conceded that QF95 wasn’t operating. But still couldn’t get a straight answer as to when exactly it would be open of an evening.
Frustrating that it is open for one QF flight that does not have a first class cabin, but not other QF flights nor the EK and Qatar flights which do.
And frustrating that the front desk staff continue their seeming incompetence or disinterest in telling people simple facts.
Anyway, safe to assume I reckon that if there’s no US flight the spa won’t be operating.
