Hi

Just seeking some advice on CBR J lounge opening times.

This Saturday, 24 May, my wife and I are flying from MEL-CBR on QF1280, arriving 18:05. We’re both WP, and hoping to use the J lounge on arrival for a few minutes while waiting for our lift.

The lounge guide on the QF website says it is open “one hour before each Qantas operated service until last Qantas departure”.

The Qantas timetable for CBR on Saturday shows a 17:45 departure to MEL and then nothing until the 20:00 service to PER. Does that mean that the lounge would shut after the 17:45 flight departs, and then reopen at 19:00 in preparation for the flight to Perth?

Or am I overthinking the “one hour before each Qantas operated service”? And instead the lounge will be open and accessible throughout the evening, until the Perth flight has boarded?

Thanks very much,
Horatio
 
Thanks, @defurax. That's what I was hoping/anticipating, but the 'each' was causing me to question it. I've never arrived at a time when there was such a gap between departures, so wasn't sure whether it might scale down for a period.

Your description would be more accurate in the lounge guide.

Cheers,
Horatio
