Have just returned from a trip the Alice Springs and visited the Qantas lounge for a quite sit down and a drink and nibble snack - not the grog. This was so disappointing and not up to any Qantas standard. (I have visited a few others BTW)
Arrived about 1 hour prior to boarding to find it packed as there were two flight shortly departing (MEL ADL) These flights did clear from the lounge, but our table did have plates cup and empty cans left from previous pax.
Food consisted of sandwiches, dry fruit, biscuits, cheese and the like, simple not elaborate, which is OK and I was not looking to pig out. But there was a 1/4 of sandwich remaining, this meager sandwich remained on the plate for 1/2 an hour before a new tray was brought out, The new tray contained dried out bread sandwiches, and the other bits well down.
I did try a sandwich off the new plate, not what I would call lounge standard. I think the shop outside would have presented fresher sandwiches.
I think worst of all our table was not cleared the whole hour we were in the lounge.
Images showing out table, we only had the two glasses, one cup and saucer, the other bits remained there for over an hour still uncleared before boarding.
So a very disappointing journey into this particular lounge.
Other wise all the other staff members from check in to flight crews were very pleasant.
