Experiences on Qantas staff travel

[MEL_Traveller]

OP did say late father so probably a bit hard to chat to them

Two different people! Dr Smithson joined this thread just recently (late father).

The most recently reply was to a post much earlier in the year!

Qantas does not allow any* staff travel ticket into their lounges. You can be OWE with any airline even Qantas and they will still not allow you to enter if on a staff ticket.
Some airlines do though, don't know which ones.
*I should say though, there are very few exceptions to the above.

I have a couple of (senior level) friends at QF who have lounge access. I think it's for Executive Managers and above. I imagine the GMC uses the CL.

SQ gives lounge access. I've sat next to the CEO on more than a couple of occasions in the T3 F SKL as we both favour sitting in the same area.

This really isn’t the forum to be discussing staff travel. It is an employee privilege and you should be discussing it with your family member who has been kind enough to offer it to you.

Lol, yes it is, or is reddit better?
It isn't a secret nor a confidential perk of the job, especially if it can be given to literally anyone.
