Heard along the grapevine that there could be a shared lounge in ABX for elite members of QF and VA's respective programs to be built by Albury City council. I know that for some, mingling with the other half seems a fate nearly as being put on a non-J class Dash 8 (oh wait...), but is this the best idea for how to satisfy the elites flying into/out of ABX?
It would appear that there isn't enough critical mass on either airline for either to warrant their own facility there (QF has 224 seats/day and VA 136 seats/day - both figures combined don't even make up the QF weekday seat count into TMW!). The opening of the shared lounge would give neither airline the upper hand in terms of attracting customers. It would be interesting to see what would be developed and how it is executed. However, as I said, this is merely something I heard along the grapevine.
Thoughts?
