My flights are short, due to cleaning work as a subbie, no a/l, no s/l, etc, I have got only long weekends to go for, so VA/NZ and QF/EK are still a tough decision.
Because I have paid for QP and will continue on that, lounge access is accounted for.
VA does not give lounge access except for the 2 domestic, ... as a VA PS, and no Koru at that.
While QF allows 1 and can be international. But then, QP covers that one.
Neither of these 2 have bonuses for SCs, only bonuses for FF points as PSs.
If only it was easier.
Domestically though, VA allows a VR member to buy domestic lounge access at $65 a head an entry. To complicate matters, a VA PS can buy annual access to the lounge at $300, QF is more expensive, but some of the lounges (esp VA PERd) are not good.
Bugga! Sorry, not swearing at anyone on here.
On the other hand, I could go back to QF NB/VA Red and save my money to buy shares in airport corporations and earn more $, seeing how much $ people spend at airports in Aust.
Mumble mumble!
Aye, Princess, SG is the "it"... eh?
