      yes, age discrimination is rife in Qantas, they don't want any old farts getting free invites to their lounges! Messes up the "look" of them.

        The actual likely reason is that they want to get engagement into a demographic who may not be traveling for work, less brand loyal to the national carrier or amassed much points and give them a taste of the perks of status etc so they get hooked, and might be cash cows for them in the future. Maybe with the perk that they'll Instagram it as well and give qantas even more publicity.

          yeah, in my younger days my thoughts were "but I can't get a <fast food chain> burger in there".

          Now it's "HOLY SHIT UNLIMITED WINE" and I'm happy. Hell, in Wellington I just wandered over, grabbed the bottle of glenfiddich and sat by the window when I had a 3 hour stint in the lounge. Work actually likes me having a lounge pass because I use that instead of charging a meal back (although said 3 hour stint they expected me to be working. Spoiler alert - no work of value was done).

        Ironic how the non 18-35s might be unhappy but they wont complain, even though its discrimination.

            @iamgroot: No, We're pretty used to being discriminated

            Free entry for girls at clubs
            Ladies night at clubs/bars
            Skipping queues at various places
            Bigger/more toilet facilities

            If you had a hissy fit every time it happened youd have a pretty miserable life

            • trilby on 26/05/2019 - 12:59

              @Samsungnote10: Whilst I would agree with the others - I think you're pushing it with toilet facilities, by the very nature of toilets, the men's always has a shorter queue

              • Samsungnote10 on 26/05/2019 - 13:01

                @trilby: obviously I was being a bit extreme,

                however I do notice that the ladies toilets seem to be bigger too eg more room for powdering your face, not just the number of cubicles etc

                I dont take it too personally, I just find it very interesting,

                eg the funding given to breast cancer vs prostate etc.

        Could you explain how this messes up the look of them. Aren’t business lounges always going to trend towards older professionals? This isn’t exactly a party boat or night club where having oldies is a bad image.

        Have you ever been in a Qantas lounge? It's full of older businessmen.

        As a younger traveller that uses the lounges frequently, I get it. Getting younger people to spend the money and prefer Qantas over others makes a lot of sense.

          Get in, take a shower..flip flop around as much as you want. That's my method. That being said, I just miss out (too old for this deal)!

      • ass3ts on 25/05/2019 - 22:08
        +5

        Most airport lounges are full of those aged over 35, sounds like they just want to attract younger people to 'try' it. I don't think there's any discrimination towards older people in Qantas, quite the opposite, have you noticed the age groups of their flight attendants compared to most other airlines? Anyone think their BMI's might pose a safety risk?

        • Serathis on 25/05/2019 - 22:42

          LOL their BMI posing a safety risk hahahaha

        • Mr BoMBAStiG on 26/05/2019 - 07:15

          Dead set got hit in the arm every time this overweight Qantas flight attendant lady walked down the aisle. At least with Virgin they are all reasonably fit.

          Yes Qantas are sometimes a bit older but those ladies know what's up and are great with customer service. Been drunk many a time when they realise I'm keen for a few and they keep them coming.

        why? this isn't age discrimination, it is targeted marketing. They are trying to pick up the loyalty of the next generation of travellers. You are just wasting human rights time, though I guess even they need a laugh once in a while

          Just because qantas throws a biscuit, no need to wag the tail.
          by mean of targeting, if a lounge allows certain age and race to go in because they have a bigger market and spend more money, how would you feel?

          • gromit on 28/05/2019 - 19:26

            @eatwell365: They aren't. They are providing free samples to a targeted group. Just about every business on the planet does this and it is considered acceptable. They haven't reduced or removed anyone elses access.

    • futureminime on 25/05/2019 - 18:06

      If they register for Qantas FF it may trigger if they register, depends what the trigger is in their system. From them saying it has to be linked to the member number I'd say you have decent odds. They can get free QFF membership from an number of sources, not sure which ones are still current but there have been heaps. (Woolies, Uber etc)

          There are numerous companies providing services to those 65+ only.

          Insurance companies like to charge higher prices to those under 25. Likewise, men and women pay different prices.

          Males often have to pay entry fees to night clubs, whereas women do not have to.

      From the link:

      How many times can I redeem the offer, is there a limit?
      There is a limit of one complimentary lounge pass per person during the offer period. If you make more than one eligible international Qantas booking during this time, you’ll only receive the complimentary lounge pass once.
