And that changes to "Qantas International Business Lounge" only (ie not First Lounge) when flying Internationally but not on OneWorld/Qantas from March (?) next year.
I'm surprised the pax got admittance. Still weird things do happen, and either the CSA could have been mistaken, the pax could have been important enough to CX (or have been recognised by the CSA as a regular), or they were a smooth talker and it was their lucky day!
Wow, i didn't expect my one question to generate a huge trail of messages! But on the same theme... thanks to some last minute changes of plan, i flew to europe twice in a month and have become platinum. So now i'm about to take my first international QF flight but in economy. I've applied for an upgrade but so far no word (i understand this may come through 24hrs before?). So my question is:
As a qantas platinum, can i use the first class check in at Melbourne and is it worth it? I believe from the website i can use the new first lounge at melb (which i'm looking forward to) but can i also use the first lounges at hkg, lhr and mia of Cathay, BA and American, even though all flights will be economy (I'm paying)?
As before, assistance would be appreciated with the best first class lounge at the above airports.... Cheers.

The best first class lounge is the one you decide after trying them all out. We are all amused by different things so what is good for one person is not necessarily the same for another person.
I mentioned that the eggs in the First Class lounge in SYD are ordinary but then some people think they are fantastic. I also mentioned that the minute steak was nothing special but other people think it is fantastic. The burger is awful. For me a lounge is a place to sit down, use the internet, nibble on some food that is remotely edible and possibly have a few drinks.
Someone elses recommendation on the best lounge is about as useful as someone elses recommendation on what is the best seat in economy for me....

Re: SIN and HKG OW Lounges
Does anyone know whether we can use OW lounge on arrival in HKG?
I will arrive early and would be nice to be able to have a shower before going to the city.
I don't think the hotel will allow an early check in.

Correct. No way to get to the lounges upon arrival unless you have a same-day connecting flight departing from HKG. To get from arrivals area to departures you need to present a valid boarding pass for a departing flight. Lounges are only available from the secure departures area.
If you arrive early at the hotel and the room is not available, ask them to store your luggage and deliver to the room when it is available, then go out wandering around Hong Kong for a few hours until its ready.

Thanks for all the reply. I guess I will be hoping that the IC GRAND STANFORD hotel will allow me to check in early.
Who knows, being Plt Amb might help. I have put in a request for an early check in, but no answer yet (and I know it will be subject to availability)

Could well do, as i understand it Plat Royal Amb get early checking guranteed, if you room is not ready they give you another one you can use until it is. (See from T&C below) Never used the privlege yet but one day it may be useful.
But as a plat amb your not far off so lets hope for good luck on your trip.
