Yeah probably the best option for all of us it seems.

I'm using Edge, the website loads, I can log in, choose a city and dates but no flights are showing and I tried a few cities and dates.

International lounge access in BNE using the Aspire (My Lounge) lounge?

I haven't been to the EY F lounge (seen pics though) but I have been to the QR Platinum Lounge and from what I can see the EY lounge would've been the better option.

You’d have to add a Star Alliance FF number to that flight.

Those fares are unbelievable. But that’s what happens with a lack of competition,

QF will be flying BNE-HIR on an E190 soon.

They often do BNE-PER/ADL/CBR/MEL flights.

It was on a QR ticket. I'm not sure how it would work when you're flying on QR with VA flight numbers. As an example, I had an extra legroom seat for BNE-DOH/AMS-DOH-BNE and it would have cost me about $120 each leg to get that seat if I wasn't a OWS.

They're not VARA like the A320's though. And they aren't used exclusively in WA either.

I had my QR FF number on my booking to get lounge access, priority check-in and boarding (when I flew VA Gold didn't allow that) and preferred seat selection in Y. If you're on an A380 you can access the upper deck Y and on a 77W 19D is my pick. I also received a welcome on board by the cabin...

One point to note, the 737-700's aren't operated by VARA, they're Virgin Australia.

If you don't have OW status then no there's no downsides.

Seat selection won't be included, unless you're a Oneworld Sapphire or Emerald you have to pay for seat selection. It's probably listed as a Choice fare as that's VA's terminology for cheapest Y.

If travelling in Y I'd check in with QR on the bp and then if you want to credit to VA switch FF's. Having your QR number on the booking lets you reserve any seat for free. And you'll get a welcome from the purser on board. Both statuses get you access to the Platinum lounge at DOH.

Yes, statuses have been extended three times now. Currently due to expire 31/12/2023.

VA also had crew flying on EY when they were getting the 777's.

KUL-MEL on Batik is the longest 737 flight at the moment at around 8 hours which is about 450km longer than CNS-HND. Batik's 737 Max's have a 16 J/159 Y cabin. VA's 737s 8 J/168 Y (one less than Batik). A 737-800NG would need to stop in GUM, that's the only viable option. It's too far out of...

If you have time go to the North lounge. It’s newer and larger than the South and is near the new gardens.

His BP would be for DOH-AKL, not sure if he'd be allowed out of the transit area?
