Hello AFF family,

I have my Europe trip (booked with dreaded Qantas points) coming up and given my very little to none at all expertise on luxury air travel, thought I'd ask the experts.
Any ideas on what perks (lounge access etc.) might I be entitled to based my itinerary below?
I have listed the main international legs, I didn't bother listing the within Europe flights which are all cattle class anyway.
  1. Melbourne - Kuala Lumpur
    1. Melbourne - Adelaide (Qantas Economy) 2hr transit
    2. Adelaide - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysian Business)
  2. Kuala Lumpur - London
    1. Kuala Lumpur - Dubai (Emirates Business) 1hr 45min transit
    2. Dubai - London Gatwick (Emirates Business)
  3. Rome - Dubai
    1. Rome - London Heathrow (British AW Economy) 1hr 45min transit
    2. London Heathrow - Dubai (British AW Business)
  4. Dubai - Singapore (Emirates Economy)
  5. Singapore to Melbourne (Jetstar Business)
I am just a Bronze FF with Qantas and don't hold any other FF memberships. I do have a few Qantas lounge invitations, which should get me into the Melbourne domestic lounge for the MEL-ADL leg, and Changi Qantas international lounge for SIN-MEL leg?

Really appreciate any feedback :)
 
Lounge Partners looks like its the QF Lounge in Adelaide for MH J pax

as this is outside the immigration zone, you;ll need duck in before heading into the international departures
However,
Plaza Premium Lounge Adelaide they are the MH lounges elsewhere in Australia but Plaza Premium Lounge at Adelaide Airport

the Emirates lounge in KL is the Plaza Premium but noting this Airport Lounges: oneworld Lounges & Airport Lounge Access
plenty of J lounges in Dubai

LHR Airport Lounges: oneworld Lounges & Airport Lounge Access

https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/flights/business-class which means you may not need to use the lounge invite....
depends if its Business or Business Max (sighs)
Qantas Singapore International Lounge – Airside, Terminal 1, turn left after Immigration, up escalators.
Blossom Lounge – Level 2 Mezzanine, Departure/Transit Lounge, Terminal 4
Important: From 22 March 2023, Jetstar will operate from Terminal 4. Remember to allow sufficient time to arrive at the boarding gate.

Lounges
1. MEL QF Business lounge
ADL QF lounge

2. KUL Plaza Premium lounge
DXB EK Business lounge

3. FCO BA lounge
LHR BA Business lounge (there is a North South and another Gate lounge depending on which is most convenient at T5)

4. DXB nothing

5. SIN nothing unless Business Max

Priority Checkin and boarding
I'm not 100% sure of the rules on this. I think you should be able to use Business checkin in ADL if the QF and MH are on same ticket. Similarly at FCO. Probably not priority boarding for the economy legs. You do get priority boarding with JQ business

Baggage
You should have 2x23kg for the first 3, 2x23kg for 4 (unless its an EK "special fare", saver and above is OK) and 30 kg for 5

In case you were wondering about the access for the connecting flights this is the Oneworld policy
