We can argue semantics all day, but I'll agree to "it's an international flight for domestic travel" ...It's not, you're boarding an international flight outside the migration zone.

QFi and international boarding process requirements don't particularly care about your semantics.We can argue semantics all day, but I'll agree to "it's an international flight for domestic travel" ...

Very much not new. I used to stand in the International arrivals hall at Perth Airport in 1974 checking that 'domestic passengers' disembarking from QF7 (I think) had not purchased any Duty Free goods on the flight. If they had been sold some by the crew, it happened reasonably frequently, they would be required to pay Duty/Sales Tax.Not to mention that none of this is new, I used to do it on Ansett

For Chrismars, the dom pax on an int flight process also lets you try the QFi lounges for a very cheap J fare.
Imagine being able to see the MEL QFi J lounge, granted not as swish as the QFi F lounge but still quite ok.
SYD QFi J lounge suite good too, as is the SYD QFi F lounge.
It was a QF flight LHR-Bombay (as Mumbai called then) Per - Syd. I just had a look and it was QF8/7 as per the ad part way down the page on the link below. The "fastest way" to Australia departing LHR on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. No daily flights back then.SYD-PER-MRU-JNB?

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
You may be travelling domestically but the rest of the passengers aren't, hence the increased requirement for documentation to let you back in the country without a passport.
Just hope they don't swap you to a purely dom 737.I'll also be checking out MEL F lounge for the first time. Heading to PER, just happened to find a J award seat on QF9, so booked that the moment I saw it. Otherwise, I've got no plans to travel overseas with QF.

One thing I liked was the no touch doors going to the loos, from the lounge, they are closed, but as you approach, they automatically open to you by sensors!
You will then have to come down again to board your QFi flight, as there is no access to the plane directly from the lounge, so you have to board with the masses, ... hopefully priority boarding will be enforced.
I will be travelling SYD-MEL-PER in June, with MEL-PER on QF9. Would the domestic check-in counters at SYD be able to check me in for QF9 (including the D sticker)?
Or would I have to get that boarding pass at MEL? In that case, what time would check-in for that flight start? I will most likely be travelling HLO.
How's your First in MEL First?All up was about 25 minutes from touch down to sitting in the Flounge (where I’m currently the only passenger)
