Oh for goodness sake. These things happen. It's unfortunate IMO that we have come down to this 'compensation' mentality about every little thing.

Seems to be a bit of a common theme in some comments:
Seems its way too much of an effort or bother to read the original trip report on Flyertalk, or indeed the entirety of this thread, but then an opinion is offered anyway! So these posters don't have the time to read the trip report, but have found the time to criticize the author of the trip report without knowing what the content of the trip report is...
I laughed over those carrots as well.
I've been in a few AA lounges and I think I prefer a grubby Qantas lounge (or even better a clean one0
Then you haven't been in the right ones.Every AA lounge I have been in is not worthy or comparitive to ONE WORLD Lounges around the world. I even put Srilankan Airlines Business Lounger higher...
Then you haven't been in the right ones.
Basically a flagship lounge in the USA is better than a QF domestic J lounge.
I also like the AA lounge at NRT-prefer it to the QF lounge.not as cluttered and better plane spotting.
.... AA elites can't access them nor can any pax even in paid domestic J....
I thought AA Exec Plats got access when flying on domestic flights connecting to an international qualifying flight......but your point is valid about the comparison.
Yes but there are only 4 QF J lounges.
And IMHO the ACs are really not below QP standards.The food in QPs really isn't that great.And if outside the capitals excluding HBA the QPs really don't rate.
They don’t make the other kind anymore.and its a Dyson stick?
In the last 5 years I've only visited on AC once (mid 2017, ORD). It was huge step up from what I remember them to be like, over a number of visits at various ports in the previous 10 years. Maybe the memories of the old AC's with their pay/voucher-only alcohol* & celery/cheese sticks are etched in people's memories.
* as opposed to now where basic spirits etc are offered free of charge
fully admit I'm working mostly to the memories of the celery sticks, paid bars and yeah salty pretzel type stacks as the mainstays in AC's (much like UA clubs).
So, I will be visiting some AC's in a month and will be most interested in what I find.
IIRC I had thought more basic stuff was available, like a house wine and the like and the more decent stuff one had to pay for.
Hopefully the food situation is better than in the past too. I am more optimistic
Accurate, but not representative.I Disagree ... generally the review is accurate.
Those who concentrate on the hypebole are ignoring the pointed facts about what qantas is these days.

This is a typical case of:

The sad thing is, many people who may not have rational cognitive ability will believe what he is saying is the complete truth without considering any alternative(s). Too much confidence.
His style of report in the past has been good, however.
