MEL international lounges for early flight - recent experiences?

[QF4L]

Hello - first trip OS post-pandemic coming up, and just saw the Qantas website says the Melb lounges have limited hours.

Has anyone flown on one of the early DXB or NZ flights lately - what are the lounge options for Gold flyers? I'm on the 7am MEL-AKL flight.

@QF4L The Qantas website is generally kept up to date in this respect.

What you see is what you generally get.

What day are you travelling.

Thanks - yeah, that's the page I was reading before posting this thread. I'm not flying on a day that QF69 is operating so I'm not in the window for any of those flights listed.

Has anyone flown out of MEL internationally in the early morning recently - are there any lounge options for QF Gold? I know the Emirates lounge is closed and they are routing pax to Marhaba, but I don't suppose they're accepting us!

Just to let people know how this turned out, for those that are flying early:

The Qantas Melbourne International lounges are open for all QF flights. The information on the website is wrong. The lounge is open at 4:30am in the morning ahead of the early flights, and closes again if there is a more than 4-hour gap before the next flight. For all Qantas flights during the afternoon/evening, the lounge is open 4 hours before the flight.

Thank you - sadly 4:30 won’t be early enough for me since I’m on a 5:15am flight
