Hi moa999, Based on the current rule, as a "paid" Qantas Club member, I would not expect to be able to access the Qantas Lounge if I were travelling on a Cathay Pacific itinerary. Nor would I expect to be able to access the Cathay Pacific Lounge. My only suggestion here is that when I'm...

Hi RooFlyer, Please allow me to clarify the situation. I understand the rule is that "paid" Qantas Club members can only use the Qantas Club lounge when their next flight is a Qantas, Jetstar or Qantas code share flight. It is true that I wasn't aware of this specific rule when I booked my...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access No... as I said in post #28 "if I had purchased my flight from Hong Kong to Manila directly from Cathay Pacific, then I wouldn't expect to be able to use the Qantas Club lounge in Hong Kong."

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Please... let me be clear, once and for all. I have not and I am not arguing the toss as to whether or not Qantas' rule allows them to deny me access to the lounge... the rule says I'm not entitled, and so, I'm not entitled. All those who have pointed...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Seriously? I cannot argue with the impeccable logic of your position, but aren't you also being just a little bit pedantic. Isn't the core purpose of the Qantas Club to recognise and reward frequent flyer loyalty, and to thereby generate repeat business...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access I don't have a problem with differing opinions. However, exactly how should I interpret your comment in an earlier post when you stated that "I'm not going to get started with all of this with all due respect rubbish"? I choose my words carefully and...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Ok, forgive me, but why have you been busting my chops for simply expressing an opinion that the rule should be that if you buy a ticket from Qantas, you should be able to use the Qantas lounge when flying on that ticket? To me, this seems far cleaner...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access [/rude]... but knock yourself out.

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Thanks, russ. That's pretty much my view on things as well. I've been a "status" Qantas Club member (mostly Gold or Platinum for a couple of years) for most of my 22 years of membership. However, in the last year, due to fewer business trips, my status...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access I've never been refused access to the lounge before, so it was kind of a rude awakening after 22 years of membership.

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access The situation is already clear, but the above makes your opinion clearer, and that's fine. We will have to agree to disagree, and that's also fine. Whilst I very much appreciate that Qantas was kind enough to book me on a flight with another carrier, it...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access No... I'm suggesting that the rule should be changed.

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Ok, one last, forlorn and possibly fruitless attempt to make my point just a little more clearly. Do I know each and every Qantas Club rule? No… but that is not relevant to the point I have been trying to make. If I buy a ticket from Qantas to travel...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access I remember the good old days as well... back before you needed a Ph.D in Acronyms in order to talk about catching a plane :-)

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Thanks, Ausbt. I was beginning to think I was writing in a foreign language.

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access I understand that what may be important to me, may not necessarily be important to you. For example, you might enjoy reading through reams and reams of rules and regulations before buying an airline ticket, whereas, I apparently like living in a fool's...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Sorry, but we're talking about a loyalty programme here. It absolutely is Qantas' job to keep track of how they interact with their customers. What purpose is there for having a loyalty programme other than to recognise regular customers and to reward...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Nope, just the important ones... like do I get to use the Qantas Club lounge.

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Please accept my apologies for attempting to remain polite in the face of your very bureaucratic responses to my comments. You are, of course, free to express your opinions, even to the extent of sounding like an apologist for Qantas. The problem is not...

Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access Again, I'm not arguing that I have some kind of legal case against Qantas... the rule (albeit badly worded) is there on the Qantas web site, once you actually manage to track it down. My point is that no one reads the entire terms and conditions document...
