I have been travelling thru the US in the last week and visited multiple Admirals lounges and Flagship lounges. I have to say I never appreciated Qantas lounges as much after visiting various Admirals lounges in the US. I found the offerings very poor if they were any at all. I visited also the DFW Flagship lounge / First Class Dining which was the biggest disappointment. The dining room was the smallest I ever seen with tiny tables crammed into minimal space. The food availability was worth than a Qantas Club lounge. Compare the Qantas First Lounge it is like a luxury restaurant. On top of that there are only 11 Admirals lounges in the entire US. You can find a Qantas lounge at almost every decent airport. And suddenly you appreciate the Qantas status even more. Kudos to Qantas to offer value for money to the Qantas Frequent Flyers.
