MEL QF J > EK F AKL transit

[qf unfort]

Upcoming MEL - AKL QF J connecting to AKL-DXB EK F. Reward ticket.

Can we:
1. Use QF F checkin in MEL
2. Use QF F lounge in MEL
3. Arrange a Chauffeur via EK in MEL

And:
1. Is there any particular F lounge in AKL worth using

Thanks

I suspect the answer to all of those questions is 'no'

Unless you’re QF WP (or OWE) I don’t think it’s yes for 1&2.
IMHO the EK lounge in AKL is way ahead of QF’s offerings.

The ( only ) EK lounge in AKL is very good. The QF lounge in AKL is not.

If you're not OWE then you won't get into the F lounge in MEL.

I agree with @Borisdog use the EK lounge in AKL It is streets ahead of the QF lounge.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little surprised about no F lounge access in Melbourne as I thought the rule might allow it given we're connecting to First on the same day, same ticket. I've another points booking later this year for Mel-Syd (economy) - Sin (business). Does this mean I won't get lounge access in Melb but would in Syd? (I'm only a Silver member these days).

You should get access in SYD on oneworld rules but YMMV.*

*QF Lounge access flying into PER on CX J; out on QF Dom Y [Denied despite oneworld rules]

Thanks for the replies. I may have been thinking of the oneworld rules and just assumed they would apply here. Sounds like the QF/EK lounge access rules aren't quite so generous. Haven't travelled with the EK/QF partnership before.

EK isnt oneworld so that rule wouldnt apply.
