Jetstar BKK to MEL - classic reward J any lounge access?

[crh66]

We have a BKK to MEL flight next year, booking is via classic reward in business class, its a JQ flight and my status is gold QFF. We'll be in the airport for about 5.5 hours before the flight and wondering if there'd be lounge access included - does anyone know?

From what I've read it appears not, but happy to be wrong! I guess we'll just pay for access if needed, unless the terminal seats are comfy.

Alos, we're only transiting through Bangkok (arriving on a flight from Istanbul earlier in the day), so can't wait it out sitting by the pool/beach unfortunately


Thanks!

Believe No.
You need a "Max" ticket to get lounge access with a JQ flight.
If flying the other way, you'd have access to the QF lounge by virtue of status, but no longer a QF lounge in BKK.

Moa999 is right - classic reward on JQ business does not come with the max bundle so lounge access won't be included.

Thanks all, I guess we'll be paying up then

Definitely no access.

If you have Gold status with QFF you can certainly access any QF lounge on a JQ flight irrespective of fare type bought. Indeed I've visited the PER QF lounge flying on a $36 return starter fare from SYD. I've also visited the QF Club at HNL (operated by Delta Airways) flying on a JQ Plus fare. However, for lounges operated by OneWorld partners like Malaysian Airlines, you can only access the lounge as a Gold if you are travelling on a OneWorld airline, and JetStar is not part of the OneWorld alliance (despite it being part of the Qantas Group). As others have pointed out a JQ Business Max fare may get you lounge access at BKK, but again it will depend on what lounge arrangements JQ has set up at that airport.
