Interesting, my friend on QF11 got kicked out of SYD F after I left to board my flight (I guested him in).

Did they give him any particular reason?

No but they did say when i guested him in that he would need to leave when I head off for boarding (QF255).

They went and found them and kicked them out?

He just messaged me saying that after he took a shower. So i assume they did.

So turns out they paged him to go to the front and then called him.

I can't find the T&Cs for "post November 2025", but I do note that clause 1.2 of the Lounge Entry T&Cs Post July 1 2026 states -:

Eligible guests can access the lounge once only for an onward flight and must be accompanied by the eligible customer.

Not sure if the wording has changed here for the 1 July 2026 update, but if taken at face value, it means that as soon as @elanshin left the lounge, the eligible guest was no longer "accompanied" and therefore was no longer permitted to be in the lounge. Is this a new "enhancement"?

That's what I'm wondering as well - that they're perhaps actually enforcing this starting today. Shame since it was his first time at SYD QF F but at least he got a meal and shower. (He's moved over to Priority Pass now).
