I saw that. Slightly annoyed as I have a flight out on 28 Oct. I wonder how premium the "dedicated space" in the business dungeon will be.

Wow that is so annoying. I wish they had published this - I would have honestly booked SQ …. I guess that’s why they didn’t publish it.

One can only hope...

Should have done a deal with EK like in AKL!

Qantas confirmed they'll be doing: special seating, Flounge signature dishes and a "gift" as compensation.

The gift seems interesting. Wonder what it’ll be; vouchers, single CL invites, a bottle of wine?

Haha I understand it to be a tangible gift. I've heard skincare or similar.

The gift will be a postcard of a view out a window

Or a pair of QF PJs

So you could go and get your gift then head over to EK, provided its open.
