Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

[serfty]

Odd I’ve been more recently then that, you do specially need to ask for piper though.

I'll remember that, I did ask for "Champagne" and they only offerred "sparkling". I re-asked and was told that was all they had for me. I declined.

Fortunately, I was on the late AKL flight so had time for a splash and go in the EK lounge.

My understanding is that everyone who would normally have access to the Qantas lounge (including Gold frequent flyers, Qantas Club members and those eligible for lounge access who are flying Jetstar) will be reacommodated in some way. It may be, however, that not everyone gets sent to the Emirates lounge. Some people might, for example, get sent to the Strata Lounge or given a meal voucher.

I've tried to get further details from Qantas but it seems they are still working through all of this.

Only one shower cubicle in the lounge to use. The water pressure was very so so. Good idea about the Emirates lounge. I always offered a COC-cup of coffee on lounge entry. It was quiet good the times I was there.
