Lounge Access Help Desk

[admin]

Background to this thread
We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions regarding what Airport Lounges are available at specific airports when travelling on specific airlines. While one can be assured of access at the airline lounge when travelling on that airline (provided you have Lounge membership), thing start to get complex when travelling on a codeshare or partner airline.

Posting Guidelines
Please post your questions about Lounge access in this thread. Be sure to include the airline you are travelling on, the airport (and terminal, if known), and any Airline Status or Airport Lounge membership programs you have.

When answering questions, please include the original question. This will assist in readability and management of the thread.

(Special thanks to Princess Fiona for suggesting this new thread.)

Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but what's everyone's thoughts on the best lounge in Singapore which accepts Dragonpass?
some of the options are:
Changi Lounge
Plaza Premium
Marhaba
SATA Premier
Ambassador Transit Lounge

Quick one, departing Melbourne on MH J class at 3pm, was it the Qantas International Business Lounge that I have access to or some other lounge?
No status whatsoever with any airlines, thanks.

At minimum you will have access to the Qantas lounge, MH may also have another lounge, but not sure. But certainly you can use the QF one.

When lounges were coming back after COVID, I found the Marhaba the least worst of that lot.

The oneworld lounges page suggests either the QF Intl J lounge, or the Marhaba Lounge (also used by Qatar)

Howdy all,

I am hoping you lovely folk can help. I am in the process of booking a (via Qantas redemption) business-class flight from HKG-HEL. Will I have access to Cathay's business and Qantas lounges? From what I can see on Finnair's and the OneWorld sites, I can only access the Plaza Premium lounges.

Many thanks.

Yes.

Airlines will point you to a lounge of their choice because it's cheaper for them, but you don't have to go to that one.

I suspect you are looking under the Plaza Premium lounge section which states that only passengers travelling on finnair can access.

Thanks both, nothing fancy but a lounge is better than none

Hi there,

Wondering if one would get access to Qantas First Lounge in Syd if flying by Qatar First Class ticked booked by Virgin Australia. Technically flying on Oneworld metal so this what I assume will get you in, however I'm not sure. Hope someone here can help.

Thank you.

 

[Doctore1003]

Yes. You’ll have a QR boarding pass and that will get you in.

Thank you, the answer seems so obvious, like when someone shows you how a magic trick is done

 

[RichardMEL]

yes. Class of Service on oneworld carrier gets you in. It's irrelevant how it was booked. Enjoy

More curious as to how you managed to find QR F class departing Australia using VA points!

Have not booked anything yet, if I do will most likely have to be $AUD pesos. Has currently been devalued when compared to USD, but still accepted

Hi Frodo,

Thanks for responding. I did read the comment below after I posted here. But it's always comforting to get confirmation. That being said, I did see a few YouTube videos of the Plaza Premium lounges and they don't look too bad.

Often availability from PER and I’ve found some from SYD. Just looking now and there are some here and there.
2xF seats SYD-DOH on Oct 19 and a few others I saw

Hi my apologies if this question has been dealt with elsewhere. I just couldn't find information on this question.

Can I use a Qantas lounge pass invitation at the DFW airport? Is there a Qantas lounge there?
