After experiencing the utter mediocrity of the SYD and MEL QPs and J lounges post-Accor takeover, where even the salami slices are gone in favour of very ordinary cheese and cheap standard ham an a toaster machine, I want to say that the CBR J experience today was far better for the following reasons:
Are these staff Accor or from somewhere else?
- As soon as I entered, a staff member offered me a drink. Someone else came by offering to make me a toasted sandwich or introduce the food. Then when I went by the buffet, another person walked me through and even poured my soup for me while I helped myself to serving something else. Fantastic lounge service! (or maybe the rumours about young handsome single male travellers getting better service from female airline staff are true )
- The soup was fantastic (it was some type of corn soup, not the standard cream of corn though) - I especially appreciated being asked if I wanted croutons added
- When looking at the sandwich section, I commented to one of the staff that it was a better spread of fillings than I saw in SYD earlier today. She then mentioned they also had red onion in stock and could bring some out if I wanted.
- The view from the lounge and the ambience is generally very nice, much like the rest of the new CBR terminal.
