Re: JQ business class from int terminal using QF classic award from : QF lounge acces
You mean a dom pax on an int JQ flight, MEL - SYD or MEL - CNS?
Yes, if you get a 787 (I have done it-MEL - SYD), you do get QF J int business lounge at MEL int.
But its in the "dungeon".
Save your points, more points saved, use the points for an EK flight with a QF flight number from MEL to AKL (points + pay).
The MEL QF int F lounge is much much much better than the QF J int lounge, its without window so no views to the outside, thats the reason its called that is that its in the basement, use the escalators near int dep gate 4/6.
"Dungeon" is the right word, or fortress more so, to be politically correct.
Given the choice, if I wanted to use points, I would go to NZ.
MEL QF F int has views to the outside. Have done that one too.
Aust JQ truly dom flights dep from MEL T4, and don't have a business cabin.
One more thing, JQ have a bad record of cancelling flights that are considered "not/non essential" so you just might be relegated to the T4 truly Aust JQ flight, I wouldn't take the chance if I were you.
They might just decide to fly that 787 from MEL to DPS, or SYD - DPS and cancel the flight you aim for.
There is a website called "don't fly Jetstar", google it, and read the comments.
QF itself is one of the best/is the best airline, with JQ you do play with fire (cancelled flights/late flights etc).
