Update: I travelled from Melbourne dressed respectfully in shoes, chinos and a knitted long sleeve top. I politely entered into the lounge, reciprocating the delightful greetings from the QF staff. Had a light meal and tea before heading to the showers. Following a good freshening up, I emerged i...
