6 or 7 years ago I joined the Qantas Club, and paid the fee of a several hundred dollars. It was a total waste of money. First time I visited,the food had run out. Only thing left was a couple of stale sandwiches with wilted lettuce. No sign of anyone re-stocking the food. All I could find was some awful burnt coffee bubbling away on the warmer. The second time was the same, food had gone and the place was packed, nowhere to sit.
I didn't bother visiting again and neither did I renew the membership.
