I'm in the QF Lounge thread

[Kiwi_Flyer]

MrsK and I are in the Melbourne QF Bus Lounge until 4pm. We're already guesting some people in, but always up for a drink and a chat if anyone else is in the lounge

Unfortunately I was already airside international when I saw your message.

I’m in the MEL QP for the next hour if anyone is around or needs access

What's it like now it's reopened?

Half the lounge is cordoned off, and it's reasonably quiet. Food offerings are "average". This lounge is way to dark - a little depressing (always has been). Missed the first lounge and it's lovely bright atmosphere. The QF app says I have access to the first lounge, however this is an error (staff seemed to have a route response).

I guess they did absolutely no renovations to the place while closed then. A shame.

It's better than not having a lounge. Glass half full vs glass empty. Yes QF should do something about the lounge, but it was unreasonable to expect them to spend a fortune renovating lounges etc. whilst they stood down most of what staff they kept. One could just imagine the headline being something like "QANTAS splurges on lounge refurbishments rather than paying staff"

Well another local Airline renovated couple lounges under same mentioned circumstances.

Results = greatly improved bright new lounges in Adelaide & Melbourne.
Far from unreasonable.

Er, how about now? Lol

QF1526 MEL - CBR.

Or CBR - SYD - AVV on April 3.

True what others have said about the food offerings. A few sandwich rolls on offer with a beer, or Vittoria coffee with some chokkie bickies. That said, the salad bar is nice today. I'd like to have the recipe – any idea what's in the carrot and barley dressing?

Seems a little bird has found its way in to the QF J Lounge too. Cute!

 

[mviy]

Nice, I hope the dumplings are on again when I am there in a few days.

Anyone in international (QF9) lounge in Melbourne, my sister and Hubble would love to keep you company (or not)

 

[flyingfan]

At MEL dom J and it’s the busiest I’ve ever seen, with people resorting to standing by the bar and sitting on ledges. Guests not being allowed - people trying to bring guests in (within their quota) are being turned away by frazzled staff.
