I booked a redemption ticket online, JQ from OOL-CNS and then TL (Airnorth) CNS-GVE for flight today, just arrived CNS earlier this morning and was informed by the "lounge guardian" that had I not arrived on the JQ flight, I would not have qualified for lounge entry prior to the CNS-GVE sector, as I was ticketed on the TL flight and not on the QF codeshare.
Speaking with premium res. it seems that redemption seats are ticketed on the flight operators metal.
I sent some feedback to QF that this should change or that they should put a prominent notice on the redemption flight availability page "That lounge access is not available with redemption tickets on TL.
Seems odd, because if I used points in points pay, I would be ticketed as QF flight and I would qualify for lounge access?
I will wait to see the response and advise accordingly.
