JQ moving to NRT T3 - no lounge!

[SBonline]

Hi all, first post for me with an important JQ Tokyo update.


This is the first time I am flying JQ international, as Qantas does not fly direct to Tokyo, I am forced to fly Jetstar. Jetstar had a Travel Alert for Narita Airport, so I clicked on it. I read that as of today Jetstar is moving to Terminal 3 at Narita.


My concern is that Terminal 3 does not give me access to the Qantas Club which is located in Terminal 2. It gives me no alternative option for any other lounge either. At no stage during the booking process was it advised that JQ was moving to terminal 3 which would have led me to check if there was a business lounge available. As a business traveller who lives on aeroplanes and in airports, I live in the business lounge before departure to - do business! So I'm now left with a departing flight from Narita to Melbourne with no access to a lounge before I depart which is during business hours and right in the middle of the day when I need access to a lounge.


How will Jetstar/Qantas give an alternative solution to this major change?

Thank you Himeno for linking to the existing thread, my apologies to all.

I agree that the incentive to fly on JQ24 from NRT > MEL is substantially weakened by this upcoming change.

The launch of QF flights to HND with a transfer in SYD is now more appealing.
