    Visiting the QF First Lounge 5-8 times a year, I noticed that it is not the First QF Lounge it used to be. Tonight I travel on a EK flight with a QF number so I went to QF First Lounge first to have my favourite salt & pepper squid, but was disappointed with the "enhanced" selection of...

    I suppose my expectations of the QF lounge were too high, so when I eventually arrived at the lounge this afternoon I could not believe how basic and poor the Manila QF Business - First Lounge is. I would frequently travel via Singapore or Bangkok or Hong Kong so even though people have been...
