When the time comes, please let us know about your experience in the lounge and whether any culinary expectations were ultimately squashed.

Quite likely since I believe the OWE dining area doesn’t operate for Breakfast - so QF4 dips out?

QF4 gets more than its fair share of breakfasts!

Was in there today. Nice lounge, food/beverage usual Qantas but the space is nice. They do have a bar though so that's cool

Was in the lounge today - so impressive. Hot water went on the blink at home today so showered at the lounge and it was great.

Premium dining area - hmm - it’s cool - but didn’t open a minute before midday. Was first in, ordered some LP and then it took quite a while to order food. Kept trying to get attention and finally got it after 6/7 tries. Food very tasty. I think they prob need a few more staff in the dining area…

Overall though super impressive.

Ah, kumara soup, but no pumpkin soup on the menu

Looks amazing. I may be a lowly Silver but have already applied my lounge pass for use here in January, can't wait!

Flying QF @The-Aviator ?
My sister has been trying since November to link lounge passes for 1 March JQ travel, but no option.
No issue linking for February Melbourne JQ departure.

Any insight from others with this?
Told her to keep trying.

Flying QF.

Wasn't an issue this time but I remember on previous trips the browser in use made a difference as to whether I could link the pass or not. Could be worth giving it a go on another browser or device?

Was in there Friday, for a lounge with no windows they have done a decent job.
Food was good, the Bar had some nice coughtails and the staff were lovely.

I remembered the old J lounge had windows, no view of anything worthwhile but natural light, at the far end and even the old F broom cupboard had high set windows that let in natural light. Got me wondering what happened to those windows.
Picture from One Mile at a Time review (post #606) confirmed they are still there?
