Is this a recent thing? I flew QF  First out of Sydney in December and wasn't invited to any roped off area or told about a special menu.

"Those who visited the previous Regency Club may be somewhat disappointed" is an understatement, to put it lightly! The new club is a downgrade in all areas except the food.If Qantas did such a thing to one of their lounges, they'd never be forgiven.

I wouldn't fly more then four hours on a domestic configured-narrow body, which is what this is. Give me a plane with proper lie flat J, PTV's in all classes and bathrooms that are bigger then a shoebox and I'll consider.

Do people bring in more then the duty free limit of 2.25L? I can't imagine the value of a 5, 8 or 12 bottle special suitcase for wine when you'd be taxed through the roof when going through customs.Unless you regularly bring lots of wine out of the country, or purchase rare exotic wines from over...

The upgrade is already underway for the main security area of T3. You'll find when passing through that the area has been walled up and a temporary one is currently in place in front of it.Hopefully will be ready sooner then end of year.
