“We have been liaising with Qantas and have asked them to remind their colleagues at Los Angeles of the oneworld lounge access rules – which they tell us has now been done."
"We do also make clear that some lounges may get busy at peak times, and access to them may be restricted as a result.”
Seems pretty clear cut then.
as has often been recommended here, I feel it is (Unfortunately) incumbent on us to print out the T&C's relevant to the trip and carry them with you. never underestimate the stupidity of someone with gate keeper powers .

Hmmm .. 17 pages of complaints on AFF ... no action from QF.
AusBT contacts OW who reminds QF of their responsibilities at TBIT and gets some action.
Why do we bother ?

Well if there's a back story let's hear it.
Whatever the explanation, letting these things stew for 17 pages without a sound from QF is hardly good PR. Unless, as someone has suggested, that it was never a "mistake" but a deliberate "enhancement" that got out of hand.
Unfortunately the Ts and Cs would have been no match for the LAX lounge 'rules'. And don't even think about waiving around papers containing Ts and Cs... quite possible that could have been considered 'bullying' and resulted in the police being called (with the full sanction of the lounge manager )
Sorry. I didn't say "wave" ( not waive) papers around. I did say carry hard copies of the terms and conditions. How that could be construed as bullying is beyond me. That's like say " look I have a ticket, let me on the flight" is bullying. Having supporting documentation is NOT bullying.
spelling mistake aside! I was being slightly flippant there.

I have no doubt this same agent would perceive reaching into your bag, pulling out 'the rules', and attempting to get her to read them could be seen as 'intimidation'. It's that simple. Once police are called, the customer is in the wrong.
I agree. That would've been better form.I personally think that a short post from Red Roo acknowledging that there were problems and stating that QF were addressing them would have been a good thing.
But I guess I'm not running QF Social Media and not privy to their rules of engagement.
As serfty has stated there was plenty going on behind the scenes. QF were well aware of the problems at LAX. Just because it wasn't played out on the pages of AFF doesn't mean that it wasn't being dealt with by QF with involvement from many including dfcatch.
