Qatar lounge for Perth? (Since QF INTL now closed)

[wiz]

Does anyone know the arrangements for Qatar (Oneworld) lounge access in Perth International (terminal 1)? Since the Qantas Business lounge in now closed, I can't seem to find anywhere whether there's lounge access available anymore (e.g. if travelling business class).

Have you checked if it's the new pay-to-enter Aspire Lounge?

My son flew QR J out of PER last night and was directed to the Air NZ lounge before his flight.

Thanks, great news, a huge step up from the old QF lounge

I posted a response in another thread but can confirm too. Due to closure of QF INTL lounge and no other oneworld int'l lounges in Perth, Qatar business passengers with lounge access are being directed to Air NZ lounge (Star Alliance)!

Does anyone have any recent information?
I can't find any official confirmation of this anywhere.

Air NZ lounge, it’s pretty decent, step up from the old QF lounge

I assume this is the same even if flying first class Qatar from Perth?

Are there showers in this lounge (one wolrd equivalent)?

Has anyone been in both the NZ lounge and the Aspire lounge prior to the QR evening departure? Any thoughts on which is better?

I've been to the Aspire lounge prior to a middle of the day JQ flight. It was nice and quiet but got the impression it gets busy in the evening with CX sending their pax there (and potentially someone else?).

I was able to use the Air NZ lounge. Voucher was provided at check-in.

So for a WP flyer on a rewards Y, am I correct in assuming that there is no lounge access in Perth T1.

I think they should give you a invitation to the NZ lounge but not 100% certain

I believe this is accurate. When I went I was a WP in J. The NZ flight was delayed though and the lounge was pretty full. I have a feeling they were denying entry to Y pax.

The lounge is nothing special.
