Operating hours for MEL Intl Business Lounge

[N860CR]

Has anyone been through MEL lately and can confirm the operating hours for the intl business lounge? The website lists flights that it serves and based on that it would be closed between about 3 and 5pm (so missing the two DPS flights and the afternoon AKL). Seems a bit odd to close when there are departing flights so I’m thinking they haven’t updated it yet.

Tossing up paying for a business max bundle on JQ but somewhat redundant if the lounge is shut.

I don't believe that it will close.

A bit like the OOL lounge, where it's stated that it opens 1 hour before each QF flight.

There are periods of 2-3 hours during the day where there are no QF flights, but the lounge stays open (well that was my experience recently, skull fracture and all).

For anyone interested, they’re open all day. Girls rolled their eyes when I mentioned the website said it was closed so seems to be a known problem.

Is this the same deal for the F lounge? Website indicates it is closed for those periods but I’ve tried contacting QF via twitface a few times to get clarity and never get a response.

Ah sorry, didn’t think to ask (or walk over and check)

Can confirm F is open all day. MEL T2 still very quiet (today at least)

Piggy backing on this thread the Qantas website notes the Sydney First lounge is open until the last scheduled Qantas departure.

My question is does anyone know if they are currently running that as the last Qantas metal departure or does it include code shares like I seem to recall it used to?
