Only been once. Didn’t enjoy it, tried to make some calls and the background noise was off putting - even tried a few locations and different seat and table combinations and just couldn’t get comfortable. Hopefully this lounge design isn’t repeated anywhere else

The new lounge is akin to a cheap ikea inspired food court, the ambiance is terrible it feels cheap with the mixture of ikea looking timber chairs and metal picnic chairs, anyway good luck finding one of these poor quality chairs to sit down on when it gets busy. This make over has from my point of view lessened the appeal of Qantas,(along with there terrible service level particularly on international flights) the Virgin Melbourne lounge is much better.

Completely agree. Combine that with the fact that Melbourne Qantas Club members have lost natural light in the lounge, and there is only one conclusion -- the redesign of the QC is a disaster.

came into this thread expecting OP to point out how other patrons were looking over his shoulder and judging him on his weird internet habits...

Nice :)

Sounds like the infamous A330 domestic business revamp a few years back.....

Calls are almost an impossibility, which is highly ironic for a lounge catered to business passengers.

I think this new lounge is terrible. It looks cheap and tacky and like others have said, it's incredibly noisy. I did notice recently that the floors are already getting a scuffed and scratched look to them. The loss of windows is also very disappointing. What was Qantas thinking, this is so disappointing for Melbourne and others that use this lounge.

When is the extension into the old business lounge going to complete? Perhaps that will improve the customer experience (a bit....)
