I received this email today from the SST:
"Be one of the first to experience our new lounge
Dear LM
We noticed that you will be departing London with Qantas soon, so we wanted to let you know that the new Qantas London Lounge is now open. Located in Terminal 3, our luxurious new split-level lounge is a sophisticated space of stone, brass and walnut, designed to embody the essence of London at twilight.
As a Platinum One member, you’ll enjoy reserved tables in the dining room, priority use of the Premium Pods and VIP Rooms.
Indulge in a deliciously fresh and healthy meal before your flight with our Rockpool-designed a la carte plate of the day featuring quintessential British dishes. Or relax at one of two signature bars, the Gin Bar on level one or the coughtail bar on level two.
Whatever you choose to do, we sincerely hope you enjoy your time at our new lounge and we would love to hear any feedback about the lounge experience that you may have."
There was no mention of the under the counter sparkling ...
But this is the first time I've heard of "Premium Pods".
I'll quiz them tonight on what a P1 can genuinely expect.
