I don't understand why Qantas provides complimentary newspapers between 6-9am on their flights but often run out of papers in their lounges. Wouldn't it make more business sense to provide a larger selection of papers in the lounges all day? Last week in the Sydney J lounge the only paper available was The Australian at 10am. The broadsheets are a good read but not the best on an aircraft. In the Brisbane J lounge they also only had The Australian at 6am but had hundreds of The Courier Mail at the gates. Instead of giving complementary papers to all pax on morning flights, perhaps they could provide a larger selection in the lounges for longer periods? They would have to look at the figures but they possibly could spend the same amount on papers but distribute them to the lounges rather than at the gates. This would allow those with status or who have paid for QC to benefit more from them. It would also stop those visiting the airport or flying with other carriers from taking them?
