Impromptu hangout with @RooFlyer
In Sydney Dom J
Delayed flight to Hobart boarding soon

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).

I made comment on that in my recent TR @DejaBrew post #10

I had, as my guest, my sister and was told that she would have to leave when we did. They made a "concession" as it was the weekend and wasn't busy.
I thought it may have been initially as they tried to deny access for her as they mistakenly assumed Mr Flyfrequently was my guest, not WP in his own right.
At the time, I pondered whether it was an "enhancement".

Seems an odd rule that if you fly first, your guest gotta leave the lounge too

If you fly later than them, they get to stay until they depart

On a side note
Saw a special ADELAIDE provision for international flights departing here

For those who manage to get past the Lounge Dragons at Qantas Singapore Lounge, they might be able to savour Fatty's Nuclear Chicken (chicken hotpot) and Spring Rolls as a post script to the closing of Fatty's - for a limited time.
