Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

[Quickstatus]

MH uses the Plaza Premium, BA the House and Qatar the Air New Zealand lounge.

AA, FJ, CX and JL still use the QF lounge. Open hours are 5am till 10pm daily.

Yes I know
But have OW J ticket pax managed to get entry to the QF J Lounge since the temp relocation under OW class of travel rules?

I’m not going to the F lounge to look at fake plants! . I’m sure they could so something even better with a new entrance.

I take it you haven't seen the plant wall?

I'm guessing since you reply to posts almost a year old, you stop to look at the details.

It's just a walkway for me. Couldn't care less.

Punted from QF J Lounge to PP then to the adjacent Skyteam lounge (which is really operated by PP per the PP name tags in ST Lounge

MH J ticket and metal.

Interesting. At entrance?
What paperwork were you given.
And which MH flight, given 3x daily.

At entrance?

Yes by Lounge Dragon. He pointed to the PP printed on boarding pass. I protested about the OW rules regarding OW J but to no avail.

The PP line was atrocious because someone arguing about something. Tried to use the electronic check in kiosk which caught the attention of the lounge dragon who peeled himself away from the couple at the desk and said MH j pax "upgraded" to Skyteam lounge which is one floor below the PP lounge.

Probably better than the temp QF J lounge anyway

Probably and I didnt care much whether I got in or not. It was mainly to test the reality of the OW marketing.

ST Not a bad lounge though

Bit of a walk though to the gate. 24>>>59

Probably
Nice vibe
Not busy

Just another data point - OW is not OW

There’s probably an exemption in there somewhere since the Temp lounge is just that - temp lounge and not in the OW list.

I had no problems getting in last Tuesday when flying QF J. Just wanted to check it out, and IMO, it wasn;'t too bad at all, the lack of paper towels in the loo notwithstanding.

Of course, they could have banished me to the FCL.

Would be to do with capacity management whilst the main lounge renovations are underway not some evil plot to undermine OW

MH do seem to have something going where MH officially use the PP lounge but get "upgraded" to the SkyTeam lounge (which I agree is probably better than the temp QF lounge).
