According to the article, that plane was the spare referred to in above posts - pressed into service pretty quickly on SYD-LAX - so it is now also out of service (in addition to the plane it replaced on SYD-LAX).

So about the same standard as the old lounge. To be fair, it is a temp lounge.

I don't mind the 1 x SC per $12, it's the 50% on VA that is the driver for me. I mostly fly int, so have stuck to VA partners like SQ. But if I can no longer make WP, I may as well fly QF for domestic and take advantage of their great alliance partners for int (just needing to fly 4 x QF sectors...

They'll just change the name on the door from "Executive Lounge" to "Premium Lounge" on most such lounges, and just say to Diamonds "no Executive Lounge at this property." Technically, they haven't devalued Diamond benefits. Problem solved (from Hilton's perspective).

Calm down. We know you hate VA. Sounds like a reasonable move. The new screening area is much quicker than it was and, if there is extended hours of a policed priority lane there, it's all good given it is also adjacent to the main lounge entry anyway.

It was just an example to highlight the predatory anti-competitive market conduct in which Qantas engages on a regular basis.

Can a moderator please change the title of this thread to "Turkish Air Force...". Thanks.

Yes, the T3 Gold lounge is very good. Better than, say, the QF SYDint J lounge. And, as noted above, the SKL lounge can be very busy and noisy at peak times.

There are plenty in the same boat. I also think PE at twice the price of Y is not good value.

And Qantas deliberately keeping the catering in the J lounge dire reinforces this emotional messaging. It's something they could easily improve with no capital investment but they choose not to - good strategy.

I think that ecommerce has massively benefited consumers.

I hope you knocked this idea on the head.

You've already booked the flights, so if you add a stopover there's a flight change.

Plenty of other airlines do.

LOL, basically the same!

SIN - Changi by a mile.

These flights are ex-SIN (their home base), so the efficiency dividend from an identical menu must be miniscule. Wouldn't be costly to cater a gourmet pie or maybe those curry puffs for which Singapore is famous. Fortunately, I do love Singapore carrot cake (it is eaten there from lunchtime to...

Still offering that weird option of porridge as the evening refreshment on the day flight, I see...

Very odd. That was in fact all four cancelled JQ48 last week became JQ1048 with similar/same timings. I wonder why.
