Not sure if it has been mentioned somewhere in the past 265 pages, but yesterday flew on QF787 SYD-CBR which left Sydney at gate 13. As regular Sydney users would know the boarding lines for gate 12 and 13 are just a few metres apart. Now if you stand looking at these two gates how on earth is someone meant to work out what is the priority line and which is the normal line? The way it worked yesterday both lines for gate 13 were makred through singage as priority. The line to the left which I know was priority because of the single PA announcement about it was marked as priority, but the line to the right, which would be the left line for gate 12 was ALSO marked as priority, just not announced as such. Anyway not to worry the non priority line was actually shorter.
One last thing I don't fully follow is why golds don't get domestic priority but do get international priority. Must admit I only just realised this myself, making my first economy trip since dropping to gold. Just confusing, just like lounge access where internationally golds can use the business lounge, but domestically they cannot. Now I do understand the reasons etc and don't disagree, but it is just confusing. What they should have done was when creating the domestic business lounge given it a name anything other than business.
