New Ability to Purchase Single-Visit Lounge Passes

[Brucetiki]

oh those poor sweet newbies!

Emphasis on sweet (from the observation some were loading sweets into their bags Uncle Frank style)

I'll see myself out

My pennies worth.......it's wrong to sell lounge access to the first lounges, either pay to fly first of pay to sit on many many flights to get to Platinum. After the pandemic, I transited through MEL a lot. I would be in the Biz lounge as a Plat member and the lounge was full of idiots and I do mean Idiots who had cashed in there Wollies points etc. to fly Biz to Sydney of Brisbane and they had no idea how to behave. I saw 2 people empty a full glass jars of sweats into their handbags, another was grabbing handfuls of jams/vegimite etc. On my next visit, the same scene awaited me, idiots taking advantage of lounge access. Please start abusing me for my post, I don't care, I'm not being elitist, just what I saw multiple times.

I was in the Syd F lounge and taking some Jaffas in the small dishes, but there were no dishes. I asked a senior staff member for some dishes. He cam back with a paper coffee cup and lid and suggested I might fill it up and have some on my flight. I've now done that a few times.

I have a family holiday coming up leaving via Sydney International.

• earliest visibility of available purchase was 2 days
• price was $84 or 11200QFF each (bit disappointed in that after seeing the 100QFF for MEL!)
• no First option
• Two passes for a total of $164 seems a bit much...pretty sure we can get breakfast for 4 a lot less, even at the airport
• My existing access is shown with the green "Already has access"
