Sorry when you say error, are you saying Sydney F Lounge access is allowed for a QFF Platinum member, flying domestic with Jetstar and leaving from the Sydney international terminal?

Yes it is.

 

[dandandan]

Yes it is.

Thank you.

Yes - the error is the + caveat, just ignore it. You will have access.

It must be coming from here, assuming it's a B788:

Alice Springs aircraft storage decreases by one

Thanks for this, this is booked for November, maybe the Sydney to Delhi flights will start again however a couple of hours access is a nice start for a few days away in Palm Cove, even if 3 hours there in Y.

Sounds like flight will be on its way from SYD to KIX via CNS...

Yes I think you are right there.

Unless you have lots of time on your hands, these Intl operated domestic flights are a lot of extra time and hassle even for F lounge.

I would rather fly on the 787 if flying Jetstar though.

The Northern summer timetable sees JQ63 scheduled to operate SYD-MEL on Mondays departing at 11:45 am

 

[AIRwin]

I noticed this message had appeared 3 days before scheduled departure with options to rebook, and it disappeared later the same day:


But it ended up being cancelled anyway 8 hours before departure:

That's a shame. What options were given? Just JQ flights or QF as well?

Oh I didn't even look as I opted for a refund instead...

Same happened to me last year and was offered both JQ and QF options (I took the QF option...)

Business or Economy?

I think the plus (+) is just referring to Jetstar itself with the rest of the line in the more information section, more in regard to travel class and Jetstar business max fares, not membership type.

The Jetstar✚ defines the lounge access eligibility based on the type of Jetstar ticket, and the location of the lounges.
It has to be a Jetstar marketed and operated flight - has the flight numbers of a Jetstar airline - one of either JQ, 3K, GK, BL flight numbers.
The ticket fare class has to be a J class and also a business max fare.
It also defines the location of eligible lounges the eligible Jetstar ticker holder can access. For example LAX has an International First Lounge, but because JQ does not operate to LAX, there is no access for JQ passengers there.

Note that Jetstar has changed the Jetstar✚ fine print: It has deleted the "No guests permitted" which is seen in the screenshots in post #7 above, which dates back to 2019. This is the current fine print as of today:


The ✓² defines the lounge access eligibility based on the passenger's FF status and membership of QFclub. Additionally guest conditions that can accompany the JQ passenger who holds the eligible Jetstar ticket as defined by Jetstar✚

Also note that checkin for JQ international flights open 3 hours before the scheduled departure and the gate closes 15 minutes before scheduled departure.
so time spent in FLounge is limited to that extent.

So yes, if you can find a JQ international flight with a domestic sector, and as long as you meet all the conditions above, you can access the SYDFLounge.

Unless there is a delay?

Unless there is a delay?

Sure, that would be one benefit of a JQ delay

I wonder, if travelling HLO, if the JQ flight is cancelled - say until the next day, would the JQ passengers who lets say is already in the FLounge, get to stay there the whole day?
