Brings back memories, 747 akl to eze a CR Y award as a 20 something, a mere SG but when it meant something, and I got op-upd to J. Pre lie flat, but bliss. Asked about future Mrs D who I was travelling with but wasn't booked with from Aus, and she appeared next to me on boarding.. Travel has...

What are you expecting? Same wine (and food) selection for 4-5 years is the norm, if you're lucky.

How did we fly before CPAP machines?

It's not a partner lounge. It a 3rd party pay per use lounge that QF uses for its J pax it would appear. If you're on JQ, QF status carries no weight for non-QF lounges.

The Australian tax system is very broken. Exploit it when you can but don't gripe when it doesn't work in your favour.

Unfortunately government (at all levels) seems too scared of losing votes to enforce rules (aka laws) to ensure public safety or general well being. Vic seems particularly bad but not unique. I basically agree with you but then the airline takes away the IFE and expects you to use your own...

Not sure I can get my head around how small that QF steak appears to be.

Don't forget QF was still using projection screens at the front of the 747 Y and fixed loop channels in J years after the competition had seat back on demand IFE in Y. Then those tiny a330 screens that didn't get replaced until a decade after their use by date either.

How does this enhance the flight or the experience? If the bot says go make inane platitudes does it really enhance the flight? If it leads to subsequent enhanced service perhaps some benefit but otherwise?

I find it one of the least impressive. The entire floor of the terminal as a lounge makes it just a large, generally empty terminal. You still have to queue for showers though and it's just a big soulless space. YMMV. I actually found the J lounge had more soul.

JQ doesn't have elites, they can't recognise what they don't have. No further discussion needed. People need to recognise JQ isn't QF.

Oh, but you do!

Because many F lounge users are not premium, but it helps to keep them stuck to QF?

You mean the CL/P1/F option that used to be on the standard F lounge menu available to everyone.

It was never pizza. A lump of soggy dough with some topping. Whilst they can dry out many foods reheating them, the one time it was really needed, it never seemed to happen. There was fish and chips in a box too, they also couldn't dry that out but it was quite edible I found (unlike the pizza).

Back to the future. They were serving something like this about 10 years ago.

"Common" sense from a PAX circulation perspective would say a toilet is required towards the front of Y, especially as these aircraft get stretched in the Y section. Hey, a front toilet would even provide a separator from J and divert those who might have thought about heading to the J cubicle...

All those extra legroom seats at the front of Y... If only QF had stronger competition.

This has been going on for a while. I previously booked CRs with days notice on Mel-syd no issue, plenty of options, recently it was the same: JQ or 6am only. QFF is a dud now.

Less inconvenience for the more frequent flyer who might have expected it so planned accordingly...
