Again a concept that has previously appeared on this forum now appears under the Flynn by-line ...

[awilcockson]

they decry 'enhancements' which magic away some of the benefits

​

Plagiarise much?

It obviously wasn't written by gowatson, as I'm certain he oft spoke of his golden handcuffs...

This comment, posted in response to the article, by Lady Platinum cracked me up:

Always amuses me that people are so anxious to make the move from the regular Qantas lounge to qantas business lounge, only difference is that the bus. lounge is a smaller space to fit the old, fat blokes.
God help you if your flight is cancelled or postponed on a Friday arvo, then you're trapped in the lounge with even more old, fat blokes who are downing the free drinks like Homer Simpson at an all-you can eat.

Just need to identify which lady AFF'er posted it, hmmm

JohnSydney sounds a lot like me but this is the first time I have read that article.

For me the benefits are important but is also the difference between OK and mediocre. Not enjoying some of my domestic travel experiences recently including today. I would hate to be waiting an extra 45 minutes out in the terminal thanks to the delay of my flight again....

That was a reasonably accurate description of me today in the Syd J lounge, having to sit through a 4 hour delay for my ADL flight.


Mind you, I was only one of a few people not wearing a suit....

We must shop at the same establishment
I've just booked my next trip to LHR A380 in J there and back, no flight changes, adventurous routing, must be losing it

Handcuffs, even made from Platinum and fur covered, do restrict adventurous activities, including routing. That is their job after all.
