Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

[SeatBackForward]

Probably the way to do it is make the F lounge for F class plus P1 (basically Concorde rules), make the J+ lounge the OWE and QF/AA/EK J class, and the J lounge the OWS and OW J class

Except that the current F lounge is way too much valuable real estate to be such an exclusive lounge.

Possibly, but could be made smaller if required.

EK might be interested in a stake in a F only lounge.

I don't expect any changes to the F lounge. QF knows this is the network flagship and theres enough bad press in the last few years. If they were to update it, maybe a sectioned off area for F pax. Or perhaps some different zones in the right side of the lounge ad thats often very under utilised.

F already has its own reserved tables mostly in one section.

And with the shutoff of the lounge to JQi flights (up to 8 a day at SYD) I'd assume a fair amount of capacity has opened up.

I guess you could convert the spa end of the lounge into an F only zone with possibly differentiated menus.
Arguably one could do the same the with Business Lounge for Real J v elites.

Question on the capacity of the temp lounge.

QF gold flying Malaysian Y in the morning. Ive read Malaysian is directing pax to the plaza premium lounge. Does anyone know if we would still get access to the QF lounge or if they are turning non QF flyers away citing the limited capacity?

They're practically opposite each other near gate 24, try your luck. All said, there are actually 2 plaza premium lounges side by side. MH pax are invited into the better of the 2 so you might be pleasantly surprised if you end up there should the Qantas lounge be at capacity.

The "premium" premium plaza lounge, which is also used by Skyteam is pretty decent. As opposed to the other one that takes the priority pass and paid entry pax.

You're entitled to go to the QF lounge and request entry based on OW rules, the dragons may or may not try to push you into the MH contracted lounge under the guise of capacity constraints.
