Article: Strategies for Cheap Business Class Flights to Europe

[SYD]

Thankyou SYD! Great news as I do have status - Platinum. Are there any tricks when booking to get the free seat selection or is it all pretty straight forward when you insert your Q FF number? Hoping you don't have to ring.

No tricks, so long as your QFF# is in during booking (if it has a leading zero, best to include that), you should get the free seats.

If it’s a “Lite” fare, you get access to the same lounge in CGK as everyone else and the “Platinum” lounge in DOH. In AMS, the OW lounge - ignore any attempt to direct you to the contract lounge next door.

If it’s a “Classic” fare, then that should include QF J lounge access in DOH.

Business Classic has lounge included. but charges for seat selection (around $120 per leg)

That must be new? Although I probably wouldn’t have noticed as QF WP…

I was assuming OP was referring to “Lite” fares.

Business Lite is the one that has no lounge access.

Yep, and no seat either but still good value with status if you’re not flying out of an outstation with a nice QR lounge (eg SIN, LHR, CDG etc).
