Qantas Lounge Access

[dmgale]

We are flying to BKK late January and decided to book economy on the outbound trip and J on the way back. I have a couple of lounge passes and thought I'd link them for the Sydney Int lounge as we have a 3 hour wait after flying in from CBR. However I find that I am unable to do so because of " Qantas Lounge Passes are not available for purchase or linking for this flight".

I'm assuming this is due to my returning to dirt status, sorry bronze status, after using other carriers over the last few years. Given the flight is in more than 3 months I'm guessing they are not about to change their minds. Is there any point to checking closer to the flight or do I just accept defeat now?

Based on people’s reports it’s more likely it’s peak season and they restrict lounge pass use then, rather than your flying history or status.
