    Thanks OP. Now if only they were offering free sign up to their frequent flyer program. One thing I have always wondered regarding a Club membership like this is whether if you do enough travel to make this worthwhile, how likely you are to have gold status or equivalent from all the flights. Depends on who you fly with of course, but if I understand it, you can only access the club if flying on Qantas or Jetstar anyway.

      how likely you are to have gold status or equivalent from all the flights

      I found this is good for when you're starting to fly a fair bit before you qualify for gold (which may take up to a year of frequent travel in economy)

      If you hit gold then your qantas club membership just goes on hold until you're no longer gold. I've been gold for the last four years or so and have about 3 years qantas club membership waiting for me if I don't re-qualify

      Assume a beer usually costs $5, that's 107.5 beer a year.

      Assume you fly 20 sectors a year, you only have to drink 107.5 / 20 = 5.35 beers pre flight. EASY!

        Since you can bring a guest, you can bring that down to a respectable 2.675 beer/wine/spirit per person. Then grab a takeaway barista coffee on your way out and you are ahead.

        Flew over 100 sectors in 2014/2015 (i.e in 12 months) so that'd only be just over 1 beer per flight.. and in reality I actually drank exactly 0 beers the whole time as I was almost ways going to be driving (or on 2 wheels) at either end..

      I agree, I recently tried to book an award flight with a multi-city itinerary. It just kept reporting an error code. I seemed to have this same problem about 4 years ago when I last tried to book a similar flight. They really need to get their act together as there are so many flight search engines available, and this will continue to grow. Anyone with half a brain would be using an alternative search engine, at least just to see what the difference is with other airlines.

    Even if you fly Qantas once every fortnight it still costs over $20 per entry. Better to spend it in a cafe for drink and food you actually want. Only so many self serve ham and salad sandwiches you can eat at the lounge before you get sick of it.

    • antler on 09/05/2017 - 07:26

        How much can you drink before a flight? Do you skol one after the other or do you intentionally go really early to the airport?

        • geoffs87 on 09/05/2017 - 08:59
          +2

          i go really early :)

          My value is in the international flights. I always fly with Qantas or Jetstar, and fly internationally at least 3 times a year. I like to get to the airport 3 hours before any international flight (just a habit of mine), and having the luxury of sitting in the quiet, having some free food and some free booze makes it all worthwhile.

          Should point out though - check with your employer… some employers have really good deals with qantas for much cheaper memberships. mine costs near half that!

        • R1ngSt1nger on 09/05/2017 - 09:38

          @geoffs87:

          having the luxury of sitting in the quiet

          Except it's not quiet these days though is it? I went to the Qantas Club (Melbourne domestic) a few weeks ago, and it was packed. May as well have sat out with the plebs… probably would have been quieter.

          Is the International different?

        • capslock on 09/05/2017 - 10:14
          +5

          International is worse. Couldn't find a seat late evening at Melbourne last time. It was like finding a car park at Chadstone at Christmas time.

        • gromit on 09/05/2017 - 11:36

          the value comes when you get longer stints at airports especially with international flights where you need to check in a couple of hours before hand, quite often you can be in the international lounges 2+ hours when transiting between countries. personally I find my QC to be critical value, earlier this year my wife and I had to spend 8 hours in their due to a delayed flight. between us we easily got $300 value for just that one flight alone. basically only takes a couple of international trips a year to easily justify the expense.

          @gromit: and don't forget that end of day, pre-flight shower, especially when you've been sweating it out in Asia.

          If you have kids, they also get in free. Handy if you're on Jetstar as you can make sandwiches, grab bottles of juice & water, some fruit, plus a colouring-in pack for the plane.

        • geoffs87 on 09/05/2017 - 17:43

          @SavageCarrot: Every time i've been in the international, its been great. Always got a couple of chairs for my partner and I. We will have breaky/lunch/dinner in there, so saves us a meal. 3 or 4 drinks each. I guess theyre all things you wouldnt necessarily do at the airport without the lounge, but they are things that you can therefore have the luxury of, with the lounge.

          I haven't seen the Sydney International lounge overly busy yet. Never had an issue. You can also use partner lounges overseas (when flying JQ or QF onwards or back to australia). I've used the lounge in CHristchurch numerous times, and the QClub in Auckland a few times also.

          Don't need to take magazines anymore…. they give digital copies to you for free.

          Best part about flying Qantas is you get access to PressReader for 12 hours before your flight, so login, download all the magazines you want and you can read them any time. Heaps of popular magazines are on there ie, Money, QC, PC Authority, APC, Mens Health.

    I've noticed the domestic lounges get crapper over time. For me in particular the cutting some of the better sandwich ingredients like mushrooms, and about 6 months ago cutting the cheese platter from the main buffet area.

    I'd never pay for it especially if you can get the free lounge passes from all the first-year-free credit card offers here.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2017 - 09:15

      Dunno. I think they have always been fairly consistently crap but I could definitely name some improvements

      • Barista Coffee
      • Toastie Machines (yes I admit it is ridiculous that this is considered an improvement)
      • Pancake Machine
      • PressReader (although I think everyone gets this??)

      Also on reflection the bar is very good, particularly the Chivas. Good selection of beers - Boags Premium, Heineken etc.

      I tried the Virgin Lounge once. I was impressed by a pot of risotto (Qantas really does nothing resembling a hot meal) but it otherwise seemed a poor cousin. The bar was very average and no spirits at all.

      • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2017 - 12:51

        Toastie Machines (yes I admit it is ridiculous that this is considered an improvement)

        You are the first person I've ever heard say that. Everyone I speak to (in & out of QC) think it's the best think they've done for year. Ham & Cheese toastie is the perfect accompaniment to a beer &/or scotch

        • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2017 - 12:55

          I love the toasty machine! I said it's an improvement. The disclaimer is that the lounge is often viewed by those outside the doors as luxurious and aspirational. It's just funny to have a toasty machine as a highlight.

        When I was gold there already were things like the pancake machine and toastie for years. Only in the last 1-ish they've cut back on all these things I've noticed. I'm WP now so if "adding" a pancake machine back in is good then that's not a good sign …

      Anyone want to buy my lifetime Ansett Golden Wing Club Membership?

      Plenty of spare lounge passes as well if you're interested.

    Is the provision of lounge facilities linked to the cost of a ticket? ie does ticket price subsidise lounge access? Or, do lounge membership fees completely cover the provision of lounge facilities?

      You pay Qantas money for the privilege of being locked into only flying Qantas.

      They are laughing all the way to the bank in every way. The lounge costs them bugger all compared to taking your cash two ways.

      Yes it is linked in that lounge access comes with business and first class tickets.
