Qantas lounges reopen ahead of school holidays

As travel and venue restrictions continue to ease, Qantas has announced it will reopen its domestic airport lounges across Australia from tomorrow.

The first stage of openings will see the more exclusive Qantas Business Lounges open their doors to all travellers – including Qantas Club members and gold-level frequent flyers.

Qantas Chief Customer Officer, Stephanie Tully, said the company was confident in its decision and will continue to assess the situation.

“This is a new world for everyone as we introduce and evolve our services to the new travel climate, but we’re very confident that we can make this work well for our people and our customers,” Ms Tully said.

“Some initiatives will become the norm while others such as capacity restrictions will ease as time goes on.”

While patrons won’t be treated to the company’s signature buffet service, the organisation has not ruled out its return when restrictions ease in the future.

Queensland and Victoria lounges are scheduled for progressive reopening from July 10 as current gathering restrictions are eased.

The announcement comes just in time for the first weekend of the mid-year school holidays.

Just last week the company announced it would need to cut 6,000 jobs and keep 15,000 stood down in bid to survive the coronavirus downturn.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
