    EMIRATES Lounges in Oz - Current Status

    The QF lounge at BNE closed at around 8.15 pm last night (as the last QF international departure left at 8.30). I was also fairly sure that we should be able to use the QF lounge but the receptionist was having none of it. Interestingly earlier in my trip I was refused access to the QF domestic...

    EMIRATES Lounges in Oz - Current Status

    Not in BNE. Flying EK F and Skywards Gold. Refused access to the QF lounge as ‘only for EK Plat’. No seats left in Plaza Premium so went and sat by the gate for an hour - quieter and more comfortable.

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    I thought that I understood the eligibility based on FF status although the Qantas website unhelpfully doesn't specify which lounges different levels of OW of EK FF schemes can access which lounges. I wonder if the page was meant to have more functionality than it has - possibly a link to...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Just received a reply after messaging QF (6 hours ago): 'Thanks for getting in touch. Only Qantas business class passengers, Qantas Club, Gold and Platinum Frequent Flyers currently have access into Brisbane Domestic Business Lounge: https://bit.ly/38uq4Mn.' Pretty sure that is wrong as I'm...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Thanks. After coming through from London all I am after is somewhere reasonably comfortable to sit, a shower and coffee. I will ask at the lounge entrance but won't be pushing for anything.

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Apologies if this has been covered but I can't find any recent answers when I search. I arrive in BNE on EK F from Dubai. A few hors later I have a domestic flight in QF Y booked separately and linked to my BA FF number I am EK Gold and BA Silver (OW Sapphire). Am I allowed to access the...

    Qantas replaces Emirates on most Trans Tasman flights

    I flew CHC-SYD last night in F and was the only pax. The snack basket was provided. I thought the food was much on a par with previous trips on this flight both in quality and quantity. Wines were good (although some confusion when I was given the DXB-JFK list which did have the DP rose!)

    Qantas Chauffeur service - General Questions/Advice

    I don't think there is any issue. If it is suggested that there is a poblem then there are plenty of houses and businesses very close by that could be your 'destination'.

    Check in at SYD

    Answering my own question I have contacted BA and they have replied that the desks open 3 hours before departure.

    Where's my PressReader???

    Apologies if this has been covered but I haven't found the answer after some searching. I'm on QF2 from London tonight but with an EK flight number. I can see my flight in the QF App but there is no link to PressReader (the icon is showing for some QF domestic flights on a separate booking next...

    Check in at SYD

    Aplogies for bumping an old thread but can anybody confirm when the BA desks open at SYD? I have searched and seen earlier threads that suggest it was around 4 hours before departure but can anyone confirm if this is still the case? Thanks.

    Poor customer care

    I flew VA domestically toward the end of November. Sitting in an aisle seat in Y and the FA managed to knock a full cup of black coffee that she had just served into my lap. A fairly unpleasant episode but after throwing all the cold water we could find on to the affected area no significant...

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Mrs PK and I were in the SYD F lounge yesterday. She had the Corn,kale and zucchini salad and pronounced it both healthy and tasty. I had the tartine from the market inspirations section which was very good as well. The decanter wine was a 2012 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier which was drinking well.

    Simple (?) Emirates upgrade question

    They will be happy to sell you the upgrade but it will be at the cost of the full fare difference and almost certainly with a change fee based on your ticket T&Cs.

    EK now nonstop DXB to AKL

    I will trying the direct flight DXB-AKL in 3 weeks (in F). It is useful to me to get to Akl 3 hours earlier and my time in the Syd lounge on the way out tends to be quiet anyway! Going home time is less tight and departing fromm CHC I'm happy to spend the evening in the QF F lounge in Syd before...

    MEL-AKL in F, worth it?

    Skywards offer the option of paying most of the charges with points - I think you can elect just to pay the tax with cash.

    Website issue - or hand baggage only fares coming?

    Thanks for the responses - I was being a little tongue in cheek but it could be unsettling if one hadn't read the comments on the booking pages that every QF fare includes a bag - plenty of full fare carriers have cahnged that in the past few years. Yes the flight is from BNE on a weekday but at...
