  • Brisbane Airport’s new airport Escape lounge opens its doors

    Apr 17, 2025, 09:28 PM

    Cairns also has an Escape lounge in their international terminal.  Good idea for a location like Cairns which only really has capacity for one lounge and multiple airlines to cater.  Will be interesting to see how it goes it Brisbane.  

  • Why Qantas has permanently closed these international lounges

    Your statement "every seat on the first week's flights can also be booked using Qantas Points at the lowest Classic Award Flight rate" is incorrect - for example QF12 on 19 November is showing Premium Economy at 778,300 points as an any seat award - no classic reward seats available

  • Welcome to Country?!

    Oct 28, 2021, 08:09 PM

    I really hope Stephanie Tully from Qantas was misquoted in the news.com.au article about 'new features' on Qantas including a Welcome to Country.
