    Melbourne Qantas First Lounge Closed most October 2025

    Just now yes. But once the lounge closes for refurb the Spa will be closed as it’s inside the lounge.

    quick review from the Garden lounge, Qsuite MEL-DOH-CDG experience

    Since the transit security at the Orchard opened the garden lounge has got much busier IME. No longer the zen area that it was. I switched from Garden to AM South at around 22:30 a couple of nights ago and the South lounge was completely empty, not so the Garden lounge. It did get busy shortly...

    quick review from the Garden lounge, Qsuite MEL-DOH-CDG experience

    For anyone transiting DOH right now the main showers at the Garden Lounge are closed for refurbishing. All pax directed to the Spa/ Gym and the queues can be massive. I would suggest heading to the AM South lounge as a better but still not great chance of a shower there. Dining queues at both...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Nothing for me yet. I back paid from 2006 onwards sometime in May and nothing has been added to my contributions.

    RTW 2.5x - a DONE4 with stops in NYC, London and Italy (HCO only)

    I’m taking it you are on QF codes for those AA flights to get towards your 2700? Next time you go to ANC I would definitely stay there. It’s pretty spectacular countryside.

    RTW 2.5x - a DONE4 with stops in NYC, London and Italy (HCO only)

    Totally agree, I have posted elsewhere on Social Media but not here that NYC ferry is far nicer than Staten Island and much closer to Liberty. It also makes me laugh that they actively put tourists off from going on this ferry and redirect them to Whitehall. Whenever I am in NY I usually buy a...

    Qatar Airways Business & First Class meals

    And a couple from short haul this week. DOH-ATH Poached lobster, Qatari chicken and basque cheesecake. All pretty decent. Amazing how well they can plate stuff in that tiny galley on an A320!!! I made use of the dine any time and had this served to me just before descent.

    Qatar Airways Business & First Class meals

    Apologies I rarely post in this thread even although I fly QR a heap, most of what I see I have already had. Two newish dishes for me BOS-DOH First one is a chicken roulade it’s an arabic dish and the second is a breakfast dish of Arabic scrambled eggs. Most of the flights I have taken have...

    Property: Conrad Tokyo Room booked: King Room City View Status: Diamond. Rate: Corp F&F rate Received: Deluxe Bay View King Suite I rarely post on here as most of my stays in any Hiltons aren’t memorable or the upgrades fairly standard. This was an exception.

    Zero so far for me. Flown 2 sectors in Y where there were empty J seats.

    QF WP HND

    Have done public transport and taxi/ Uber from the Conrad multiple times. Probably prefer the taxi/ uber to be honest. Appreciate if not staying in that hotel/ area then public transport might be better and definitely cheaper. JL F is good but the food options are a bit meh, coughtails...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    The answer is no as there is no arrivals access to F on QF and the SIN-MEL flight does not count as SH. OW rules allow connecting flights LH to SH to have class of service access to the lounge which is covered by the LH flight.
