For what it’s worth, Qantas Gold, Platinum and Platinum One members can use any of the five LATAM-operated lounges in South America when flying with LATAM on a QF or LA flight number.

The Qantas website implies that LATAM lounge access in South America is only available on 'QF codeshare services operated by LATAM'. Are you able to confirm whether those Qantas Gold/Platinum travelling on LA flight numbers are allowed entry?

Yes, I personally used the LATAM lounge in SCL last year when flying to ASU in Y on a LA flight number.

That particular page you've linked only refers to codeshares, but the LATAM lounge access benefit is also mentioned on the Gold, Platinum & Platinum One benefit pages, e.g. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/gold.html



When travelling on an LA flight number, you can only use the 5 LATAM-operated lounges. No lounge access is given in SYD, AKL or MEL.

Also used LA lounges in SCL and EZE just in the last month flying on LA coded flights in whY as QF WP.

Thank you! That’s super helpful.

It also means I sat in the terminal in Santiago and Bogotá last year unnecessarily.

So I'm a bit lost with all this lounge malarkey. My wife and I are flying J on LA804 ex MEL booked as a Qantas CR as a QFF platinum. Would there be Qantas international business or first lounge eligibility in MEL? TIA.

There is no lounge access with LATAM based on Qantas status at MEL, when booked on an LA flight number. However, you would be able to access the Qantas international Business Lounge due to your business class ticket.

So.......I have LATAM Gold Plus status. I'm still not clear if I can access QF lounges on QF or Jetstar domestically. I particularly want this in MEL,SYD, ADL and OOL. Any knowledge here?

I haven't been able to get a straight answer from either Qantas or LATAM, but I get the impression that you wouldn't get access.

Ultimately it will probably depend on the staff member on the door of the lounge on the day.
