The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[MEL_Traveller]

Hi this might be a really stupid question but - if I have an existing award booking (Tokyo to SG to Syd) booked - but I wanted to rebook to Syd - Tokyo, would I need the full amount of points for the rebooking before the points from the old booking comes back?

In Cathay if you amend you need the full amount

No it’s considered a change. So you’ll pay the change fee, and any points difference will be credited/deducted.

Hi! I’m new here. Was lead to this forum while trying to find out if my 3 year old needs a lounge pass? We have two complementary lounge passes, I’m travelling with my husband, and two kids (1 and 3). I’ve previously brought my daughter and husband in with me to the lounge when she was six mths old, with only two passes. We have a long transit in Brisbane so I am trying to think whether it would be best to link the lounge passes to myself with infant and my toddler, or link to my husband instead of my toddler?

I’ve found various conflicting answers on the website and the threads, hence the question. Appreciate your time in replying though. Thank you. I’ll dig deeper.

As far as I know children need a lounge pass each. Been noted with confidence here.
Not sure about the age, but 3yo a separate lounge pass definitely required.
There's threads here that may assist in an extra entry or timing entry with a status QF'er.

About your invitations
A Complimentary Lounge Invitation is an invitation to enjoy the Qantas lounge before you fly, or gift to another Qantas Frequent Flyer. The invitation provides single-visit access to eligible Qantas-operated lounges when your next onward flight has a Qantas (QF) or Jetstar (JQ or GK) flight number. You can only use a Platinum One Complimentary Lounge Invitation with a Qantas (QF) flight number.

To ensure smooth entry into the lounge, present your linking confirmation email along with your boarding pass at the lounge entrance. You can access the lounge once check-in at the airport for your flight opens.

Complimentary Lounge Invitations are exclusive to Qantas Frequent Flyers and are subject to the Complimentary Lounge Invitations terms and conditions, Qantas Club terms and conditions and dress guidelines.

Things to know
There are some important things to know about before you arrive at the airport.

• Ensure you link your invitation to your flight at least 24 hours before departure.
• Be sure to check lounge opening hours and location. Some lounges may not be in the same terminal as your departure gate and may not be convenient for you to access.
• Don’t forget to review our lounge dress guidelines.
• Your invitation is for single-visit access to the lounge and doesn’t include guests or children. You can buy a lounge pass if you would like to bring a guest into the lounge with you.
• Your invitation cannot be used with Group Booking flights

A Qantas club membership and class of service lounge access does allow children to access.
