I'm not sure there is a BL in ADL, and if only in there through virtue of an upgrade may not be able to guest into the BL, only the QP...

 

[QF WP]

Damn, you're right Flashware, ADL is the poor cousin:

In addition to, and complementing our domestic Qantas Club facilities, Qantas is proud to introduce a new Domestic Business Lounge experience now open in Sydney T3, Brisbane, Melbourne domestic terminals and Canberra.

Oh well, CBR it is.

Damn, you're right Flashware, ADL is the poor cousin: ...

On some days, after 2pm, ADL QP is probably better than the BNE J/L - at least for room.:-|

On some days indeed.

The food is a bit better in the BNE JL, plus unlike in ADL QP you don't have to be a sniper to get some.

I am thinking about spending the afternoon at BNE airport so should be able to guest you into the Business Lounge. Where else can you have a feed and 4-5 beers and unlimited internet access for $13.

Excellent, JohnK, thank you. I'll give you a call when I am downstairs checking in

Where does the $13 come into it?? :?:

 

[Flashback]

Transport to and/or from there.

 

[docjames]

Transport to and/or from there.

$13 seems cheap..... (Would be approx one way by airtrain but not back again.....)

Anyhoo, getting waaaaaay off topic.....

 

[Grooba]

On some days indeed.

And ADL has Coopers on tap. I'd rather be there than any of the domestic J lounges.

 

[QF WP]

I'll just have to try some....I love it (plus their new brew I sampled at SYD QP a couple of weeks ago).

 

[JohnK]

Where does the $13 come into it?? :?:

Transport to the airport from Central. Normally $14.50 one way but if you buy a book of 10 tickets it is $130.

As I am a frequent Airtrain user the transport for the return trip is complimentary....

It makes it a special QP, along with the general lack of crowds.

23 Mar MEL QP 6:30am

If no one more deserving takes you up on your offer I may join you.

 

[JohnK]

Lindsay Wilson is arriving ~6:00pm so I will guest him into the Business Lounge.

I plan to be there ~3:00pm so still possible to have 2 guests before Lindsay arrives as the lounge staff are not likely to remember if I have had any guests earlier....

I’ll be drinking with you Wednesday afternoon anyway, probably a good thing not to stress my liver too much after St Paddy’s Day!
