Oh what time? Will you be able to guest a friend of mine flying QF61?

Are there any landside offices upstairs?

Are there any airside offices upstairs?

I don't think so?

Meant landside.

Meant landside.

Doesn't look like it from the map:

As a side note what ever is going on is impacting arrivals, now you go left out of the duty free and around past a temporary wall then back the other side to what you'd previously come into the immigration area.

I didn't need it but for the first time in ages was handed an express pass card for arrivals, very handy as Brisbane still uses them just no one around this evening.

Sorry, I am flying in the afternoon so cannot assist.

It was working last Wednesday and saved me a good 5 seconds on my way to gate 26!

Saw it running with kids having fun going the wrong way, on the ADL one on this past Sat.

Ummm, so how does this one work, if its prior to int sec processing.
So, off to the temp lounge at BNE int, prior to int sec processing and immi, then go through both?
My trip through BNE might not be till later 2027.
Just curious how it will work.
Have been to the "former" QFi BNE lounge, was prior to covid.

Yes, prior to security and immigration.
If timing is correct, escalators and 'normal' access should be back in September 2026.

I wonder if Cathay Pacific will use the Qantas landside lounge or organize with another lounge.
I have a flight out at 12:05am in a weeks time so lounge probably isn't that important.

BNE also not taking Lounge passes during this time.

Well, here I am in the BNE Int J lounge after connecting through from domestic; I am glad I knew about this in advance as the lounge entrance is easy to miss if you are not looking for it. Nothing about this was said at my MEL checkin, though I did receive a text message yesterday advising of the change

Is it where I took the photo in post #41 above (at the end of check-in rows 1/2)?

When do they kick you out and send you to the gate, any fast passes.

The lady at the lounge entrance said they will be calling boarding 70 mins prior to departure, which seems a lot; I got an express pass at MEL domestic checkin.

Appears so.
