Can I check in for Jetstar domestic in a J lounge?

[dosborn]

I suspect I know the answer....

For domestic flights when you are flying JQ you may check in at the QC, well at least thats what it says on the QF site

To help avoid queues, members may use The Qantas Club priority check-in areas available at most airports. If there is no dedicated Qantas Club check-in, you may check in at the Business counter before any Qantas flight, regardless of your fare class. You must be travelling on a Qantas operated service with a Qantas flight number. If only carrying hand luggage, and travelling on a Qantas* or Jetstar marketed and operated flight, you can also check in at most major domestic Australian or New Zealand Qantas Club lounges.
Note: Lounge check-in for Jetstar is 40 minutes before departure. If you arrive within 40 minutes of scheduled departure, go directly to the Jetstar check-in counter. You need to check-in for Jetstar flights at least 30 minutes before scheduled departure otherwise your ticket will be forfeited. No refund or free transfer is available. You will be required to book and pay for a new ticket if you wish to travel.

This paragraph assumes most airports have the contract to enable them to issue JQ boarding passes. I can understand people's frustration if they have been able to get JQ boarding passes from other QP's but not at DRW for example where JQ ground handling is done by Skystar.

It's not that QF don't want to do it, if they do not have the contract to handle an airline (even if it is a member of the Qantas Group) they not only don't have a signon for the JQ Navitaire system but they don't have the authority to access it. You can't have two companies ie QF & Skystar fiddling with JQ flights.

I'm not sure what other QF Clubs cannot issue JQ boarding passes, other AFFers might care to enlighten us.

I've never had any luck in MEL, but that was about 3-4 years ago.

I have been able to check in at the MEL QP for 2 of my only 4 to date JQ domestic flights.

They had to log into an alternate system to provide me with my check-in docket.

So in effect there are a few scenarios with QP's:

a) those that can't

b) those than can and will

c) those that can but won't :evil:



Clear as mud!

That is the QF way

But without the QF way we would not need AFF as the rules would be simple and applied evenly.

So it turned out that I was able to check in online (which I didn't expect to be able to do because I wasn't expecting access to the net on the weekend).

But when I was in the J lounge at MEL yesterday morning the two very helpful lounge staff assured me that, subject to being 40 mins+ prior to departure, they could check me in.
