Flyers Denied Emirates Lounge |
As
part of Qantas' agreement with Emirates,
eligible Qantas Frequent Flyer members are
entitled to Emirates Lounge access when
flying with Qantas. There are some
restrictions; for example, flights to the
Americas and South Africa are excluded, and
you should be travelling on a Qantas-issued
ticket. But, in general, access is available
to Gold, Platinum and Platinum One frequent
flyers.
Unfortunately, it seems that some Qantas and
Emirates staff are not too happy about
letting Qantas flyers use the Emirates
Lounge. Some AFF members have reported being
incorrectly denied entry at various lounges,
including in Auckland and Beijing. Other
members report being allowed in - but only
after receiving a lecture from lounge staff
with an attitude problem.

Bargain, Thanks to Flight
Centre Error |
| A
lucky AFF member has had a
bargain price holiday to
Vancouver and New York,
thanks to a Flight Centre
error. scubabe

to pick up Air Canada
flights to New York, with a
stopover in Vancouver, for
just $619 return. It all
started around a year ago,

New York for $619 return -
