SQ departure details, ADL QC

[BD1959]

Sat in ADL QC waiting for the delayed 694 and an oddity on the departure board hits me...

The only flight without a code share - and the only one NOT QF, JQ or EK - is SQ276.

Doesn't SQ have it's own Kris lounge buried below the (usually) International Gates? ...So why do QF deem it necessary to list this particular flight on their QC departure screens?

(Yes...I'm bored!!)

There is an Air NZ flight where Y+ nets you the QP.

Not going to SIN tho', I guess!! (And who can blame NZ for NOT using the ADL VA Lounge??)

My guess would be that a CL member had booked on that flight... they probably use the same departure screens in both lounges.

(Or, if the staff are in a good mood, there could be a QF WP arriving on QF and using their arrivals access before departing with SQ.)

No. But A NZ isn't a QF partner just like SQ. Same context but different destinations.

OMG...Departure Boards in the CL?? Surely not. So....uncouth!!

We don't have a CL in Adelaide that's separate. We don't even have a business lounge.

They have them when I have visited, SYD and BNE at least.

There is a CL in ADL.

Does QF do the ground handling for SQ in ADL?

 

[Pushka]

There is a CL in ADL.

Is that within the Club?

No, it is through the frosted door to the left of the entrance to the QP in the main concourse.

No, it is through the frosted door to the left of the entrance to the QP in the main concourse.

Will keep my eyes open then.

I also do wonder why ANZ doesnt use the VALounge for its Works Deluxe guests.
Am doing ANZ C/D/J this Sat, via VA to SYD then ANZ to AKL. Booked directly with ANZ, but points to VR.
Wonder if I get the QP in ADL access.

Because it's rubbish? Seriously, you get 50 people in there and it starts to feel claustrophobic - which is good because there's only the one dunny.

Worst lounge in the VA "network" IMHO.

I think there is a separate entrance in the club as well.

I've seen that. Wasn't sure if it was an entrance or an exit. Near the meeting rooms.

Lol you can all be assured neither Qantas nor the airport would bother modifying departure screens based on a CL booking on a different airline...

Ok, thanks. I will try to spot it next time I am there.
