A question about lounge guests.
Say I am eligible for one guest at the Qantas Melbourne Flounge. I am on a 10am flight, but my guest's flight isn't until after lunchtime.
Is my guest allowed to use the flounge until her flight, or does she have to leave when I leave?

Many thanks for clarification.

The guest can enter the same time as you and stay until their flight starts boarding. They don't have to leave when you do.

What a rort! It means mere plebs and peasants can in theory dine out on first class lounge food and liquor for the whole day! Qantas MUST change this policy, I am going to write to them now to recommend that this loophole be closed SCHNELL!!!**
 
Last time I did something like this at SYD F I was advised that the guest needed to leave when my flight boarded, though it wasn't enforced.

This is what I thought the answer was, too.
I guess you gots to keep in mind that the people running the lounge are going to be much more alert to such things if it’s busy - extremely unlikely, but they might keep in mind that a visitor has come in and they could (although unlikely) ask ‘em to leave without their … ‘sponsor’.
