Article: Qantas Shelves Plans for London First Lounge

[half-hour]

I imagine this new plan (and the old one) is likely to result in a downgrade for non first class passengers through the removal of a la carte service.

Is there some connection with the reporting of Qantas scrapping the A380s? The sunrise A350s will only have 6 F seats and so far fewer F passengers once the A380s go.

Having said that, for an F passenger the current Qantas lounge is hardly a premium experience given how busy it is.

Qantas have indicated they will replace the A380 by early next decade. So, barring something happening, the end of the A380, is still some years away.

For a while, it seems likely there will be 20F seats into London (A380 + A350).

Given the shift in sunrise, potentially Perth swaps to a A350 and then F seats into London will be 12. So pretty similar to current.
