Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access
Ok, forgive me, but why have you been busting my chops for simply expressing an opinion that the rule should be that if you buy a ticket from Qantas, you should be able to use the Qantas lounge when flying on that ticket? To me, this seems far cleaner, fairer and easier for "Joe Punter" to understand than is the case with the current lounge access rules.
As for carrying a hard copy of the Qantas Club rules with me when travelling... that was a joke, right? I have enough trouble remembering to take my passport .
Good luck with the Maple Leaf lounge access. Hopefully, Air Canada recognises your years of loyalty with a little reciprocity.
I agree about the complexity of lounge access rules .. totally sucks. Which is why so often here you see advice that people take the rules applicable to their situation in hardcopy. If the OP did that .... um ... ahem. However, I think the rule in question here isn't one of the obscure ones, but one of the fundamental ones - QP membership gets you in prior to QF group marketed flights; but opinions do vary on the 'importance' of this of course.
Its not like I don't have some empathy with the OP. I'm about to drop from years at 75K Elite on Air Canada (Star Alliance gold) to lower-than-scum nothing :shock: . I'm looking for a rule change re Maple Leaf lounge access ...
