Qantas First Lounge Spa

[Mal P]

Odd question but do they use lotions and oils on your body while providing a massage? If so do you shower afterwards to wash it all off?

 

[smckay]

Yes.
They wipe it off with a towel. Personally never had an issue with residue.

Flying AA F out of SYD (11.30 departure).

Asked about spa access at 7am when I arrived

"sorry sir, there's a JNB flight and the spa is fully booked".

JNB leaves at 9.30am ... what about after?!

In case JNB is delayed

Were you flying AA F on a QF Codeshare? The priority (as it was relayed to me) goes to QF F first, and usually the hacks and hangers-on after that (entitled CL's and Malcontent F1's).

They hold spots for the Jnb flight F passengers...if they are not snapped up by the F passengers, then the plebs get a chance

My limited experience with the SYD Flounge as a World Platinum was that it was always highly unlikely you'd get a spa spot on a walk up basis. However, at the MEL Flounge I have been proactively been offered a spa spot. This to me is one of the many reasons why the MEL Flounge is infinitely better than the SYD Flounge.

Gosh the difference would be even more stark now too - there’s at most only 2-3x weekly 380s out of Melbourne vs at least 2 or 3 daily pre covid (sin / dxb-lhr, lax). Syd now has the overwhelming bulk of the 380 departures (still only 4 daily tho)

Sorry about the bump but odds I would get in with CX100? Or are they restricting it to QF flights only.

It's possible if you get there earlier in the morning, say 10am ish, although obviously not guaranteed.

Later than 11am and you'd be up against F pax on QF1 & QF11 arvo departures taking most of the slots.

Your odds at SYD F are close to 0. Syd is just a bit too busy. Sometimes you can't even get a dining table for a while let alone spa.

To date i think I've only had one success at SYD which i let my wife use. A lot more success at MEL F.

I would have low expectations..........and have a chance at happiness.......

Just to confirm, I’m not aware of any restriction on actual flight and Spa access.

As above, timing is everything.

I was actually proactively offered a slot mid morning a year or so ago (and took it). I never bother asking otherwise.

In SYD it's hard to get slots, I've had success as an F pax and being waitlisted for a cancellation when I arrived early. Last time I left MEL for SIN there were on departures with F when I arrived and they had pre-reserved a slot for me (and my +1).
