BNE Intl J lounge - pre security access only Apr - Sep

[henrus]

Lounge dragon mentioned capacity to the couple on JQ in front of me even though there shouldn't be any impact from escalator replacement?

They’ve lost the downstairs overflow space as it’s closed during the replacement. I guess that’s the cause of the “capacity issue”.

Passing through the international terminal yesterday there is a sign after security saying no Qantas lounge beyond this point (after going down the escalators).

I did scan my boarding pass but she noticed I was on a domestic flight and directed me to Domestic instead.

I wonder if you pushed it if they’d let you in or if it’s a hard no?

Spotted this experience on Twitter from someone flying NRT-BNE-ZQN. Seems that communication about the situation remains quite poor for transit passengers.

Apparently transit passengers can get a food voucher, but need to visit the transit desk (which even yesterday was unattended). If the transit desk is unattended then apparently can get a voucher from the gate but often staff aren’t there until 60 mins prior at which point too late. I wonder if visiting a different Qantas gate would work?
