Qantas Club Pass LAX

[mushypeas]

Hi All,

Not sure if I'm having a dyslexic day or not, I've done a number of searches and I'm not quite getting what I'm after.... anyhow

I have two complimentary Qantas Club passes from a HSBC card I got earlier in the year and I was hoping to use it at LAX but I can't quite understand whether the LAX International Business Lounge is a Qantas or "oneworld" operated... would love to burn these passes by having a relaxing wine before take off in dreaded cattle class.

Any insights whether these passes work at LAX or am I betting off using them in Melbourne?

Appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Dave

Any fine print n the back of the physical pass?

yeah it's got some t&c's such as it must be a qantas operated lounge etc - the qantas website says Tom Bradley terminal has a international business lounge but it's operated by AF, BA & CX which led me to think it was possibly a oneworld lounge not qantas etc...

AFAIK it is a OW operated lounge, and nothing to write home about.

ahh, that's what I suspected.... thanks Spruce - guess I am best using it in Melbourne then

It's an interesting one. Given it is listed under 'International Business' as opposed to 'Associated Lounges' on the QF website, it may be a valid location for access. But I do not say that with any certainty. You could call QF and ask, but as we know, the agents' answers can not always be taken with certainty either.

Edit: I now note you have also visited the site. I guess we can interpret it different ways. I also guess if you have no other opportunities to use the pass(es) then a certainty like MEL would be preferable over an uncertainty like LAX TBIT.

I thought t4 in lax was a qf loubge and tbit wasn't.... but I could be wrong.

T4 lounge has QF desk and representatives. Pretty sure you can use it there. I like the t4 lounge better than the TBIT one.

I've used passes at TBIT the last 2 years without problems.
