Qantas Cairns lounge query

[Catardale]

Hi all, I have a flight this week going from Cairns to Melbourne. We are flying Jetstar and I have Qantas lounge passes attached to our bookings, so all good there. Jetstar is telling me our flight is leaving from the international terminal so we need to get there early to go through immigration and customs (at departure and arrival I think). My query is will there be enough time to use the lounge in Cairns (even if just a quick coffee and snack)? Do I check in at Jetstar in the international terminal, then walk to the lounge which is in domestic, then back to international, then go through immigration etc then onto to the gate in International? All a bit confusing, and annoying if I am really honest. Cheers.

It will be exactly as you described. I've done it myself and yes it is annoying and time consuming. I think it was at least a 10 min walk from the international terminal to the lounge. Note that the international terminal is boring so don't go through immigration too early.

And don't forget photo ID

And keep the boarding pass for arrival formalities
