Qantas Club Bar Opening time - 12 in Perth

[oz_mark]

Passed through the (rather squishy) lounge in Perth today, and the bar is back to opening at 12. Not sure if this is true of other lounges, but I would imagine so.

Well 1200 equates to 1400 on the east coast so now they are only 20 years behind :!:

Interesting. Perhaps Qantas has had numerous complaints about changing the opening times of the bar.

Or they have decided to go back to the old time to compete with the lounge for the dayglo orange business.

Cairns is opening at noon too now and that makes the early afternoon flights even more pleasant.

Opening time for QP in MEL was noon the other week - thank heavens!

Only if you arrive before 2pm ...

One does wonder what effect "The Lounge" has over this decision.

So.... is the bar open at 12 noon again in th QP or not???
I have not flown for nearly 2 weeks.... I'd like to hear from someone who has flown this week.

Yes. I am in BNE Qantas Lounge right now and can see the sign behind the bar for opening time of 12:00 noon. It was implemented last Wednesday (~4 days ago).

Yay....... WIN!! Thanks JohnK

This must be recent as I was in PER QP 23 April and the sign said open 2pm. As my flight was boarding at 2.10pm I only had time for 2 beers before getting on board.

I do hope it has changed as I am there next Tuesday and it would be nive to have a drink before flying out at 1pm.

I feel you need a little retraining in QP etiquette here!! What on earth were you doing for the other 8 minutes

Probably "disposing" of the two beers so he didn't take them on board?

In fact you are correct.

If the QP is now opening the bar at 12, is the J lounge opening a little earlier too? Maybe 11 for them?

Wonder if QF are already feeling some pressure now DJ's new boss is there and making some changes. QF getting everyone locked in!

I also noticed last Thursday that the PER QP bar now opens at midday. My flight departed 12:10, and didn't get a chance to have a beer. About time they changed it. Seems like the renovations at the PER QP are well underway now. The PER CL Lounge is also getting some sort of make over, because that area was all barricaded off. I didn't get a chance to see the "stages of project" on the wall. But, l think that once the reno's are complete, it will look pretty nice.



Virgin's "The Lounge" bar opens at 11am.

When you visit The Lounge you’ll get real Barista coffee served with a smile by real people, and real food the way you want it. If you’re after something a little stronger, you can swap the flat white for a sparkling amber any time after 11am. We’ll always have something delicious waiting for you at The Lounge, and best of all, it’s complimentary.

Virgin Blue > Benefits
