Outgoing Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is reportedly reviewing the “criteria” for membership into the exclusive Qantas Chairman’s Lounge.
The luxurious wood-panelled lounges are located inside Australia’s five major airports and offer the highest level of service possible for a Qantas customer, eclipsing the airline’s Platinum One membership attainable by the public.Members are also personally fetched and escorted to their flight by a staff member.
Leaked email correspondence between a Chairman’s Lounge member and a Qantas regional manager seen by The Daily Telegraph revealed a fresh “crackdown” on freeloaders to ensure those using the lounges actually spend money with the airline. “New criteria now require the member to be linked to organisations to have a commercial airfares agreement with Qantas and agreed on revenue and market share targets.”Anthony Albanese’s 23-year-old son Nathan is a member of the loungeThe Chairman's Lounge is the most exclusive airport lounge.
