I certainly didn't intend denying anyone the right to whinge. I suspect a good portion of my posts would be regarded by someone as a whinge, so can't really be too critical.
I guess for the infrequent traveller who specifically wants this benefit it would be very frustrating. I agree that QC membership for 3 or 4 flights a year seems a waste.
The more frequent travellers would be more tolerant I guess, hoping that the refurbs ultimately provide a better product (J lounge at least). That said, I've avoided the Melbourne lounges so far as I've not been travelling QF (domestic) or in general as much lately. The BNE lounges during the refurbs were not too pleasant while the work was happening.
. I vaguely knew this was happening, but thought it was peak hours and didn’t think it Sunday would be so forgot to warn Ms FM who is travelling back from Melbourne today. She has a Qantas club membership which I have paid for and she uses about 3 times a year. It has made me reconsider renewing when her 4 year membership comes up - she has LTS and generally I pay for J when she travels overseas (and QC is pretty useless overseas anyway, except in the States). While I agree it is not a biggie, it is annoying that something I paid for is rendered useless without even a thought at compensation. Typical airline behaviour (and note I say airline not Qantas).
