Qantas Status Lounge access with LATAM Domestic Flights

[SydneySwan]

I wonder if there has been a change to LATAM access as the SCL lounge page no longer mentions Qantas under access:

Qantas website suggests there is still access

I am hoping so as have a flight booked nexy year from SCL - SYD on QF.

Different thing here, on QF metal you’ll have access to their partner lounge.

I’m talking about how the LATAM lounge would allow access to QF Gold/Platinum on LATAM metal and marketing code.

I Feb this year I had access to the Latam lounge in Scl flying La Y from Scl to Eze

yes has this changed? Reviewing the QF page now suggests Qantas frequent flyers get all the premium check in, extra baggage, boarding etc when flying on a LA operated flight w/out QF codeshare but no mention of lounge access. Has this been updated?

I’m flying next week (and some other flights booked direct), but QF doesn’t appear to codeshare now on LA anyway! Booked months ago and there was no QF codeshare option.

Fortunately, all flights are LA PE (which comes with lounge and other perks anyway).

I have some Latam flights next year booked with LA flight number and QF SG number in the booking where I was expecting to use Latam lounge. I am not really too bothered about priority boarding or having additional luggage allowance (I now have 3 * 23Kg allowance on some flights because QF SG gives you 2 * 23Kg extra.) but I rather like the lounge access. According to this link

https://www.latamairlines.com/au/en/experience/airport/lounges-and-facilities

'You may be eligible to access a LATAM Lounge if you're traveling in select cabin classes, hold LATAM Pass Elite status, are an eligible oneworld member, or have access through participating credit card benefits, subject to the applicable terms and conditions. Check the access requirements to see which benefits apply to your trip.'

Wouldn't you think SG is an eligible oneworld member? Or is it 6 years since Latam reviewed their T&Cs?

Given it's not just QF removed by LA I guess it's apart of LA.
