As a QFF Platinum member, when can I access the Qantas F lounge?
Do I have to be travelling on an OW airline?
eg: If i fly emirates or SQ from SIN to Jakarta, can I still access the F lounge in Singapore? Or, can I even have access the Qantas/BA biz lounge in SIN?
Also, when travelling on an OW airline, are there any areas of OW F lounges I can't access? I have heard of the concorde room with BA?
Do OW emeralds get priority boarding with CX and BA?
thanks

My understanding is that the Concorde room is special and that if you have F access then you have F access - the Concorde Lounge is not an F lounge by normal definitions.
You do get priority boarding with CX/BA - just not when they dont have priority boarding e.g. Club Europe often does not have priority boarding at all....

My understanding is, as a QFF Platinum you have access to any Qantas Club lounge whether flying or not. As this privilage is honoured but no longer appears in the T&C's I can not remember if it extended to QF Flounges. However you should also have access to a QC lounge that is also a JLounge. All access is subject to

Access to other OW airline lounges is a OW Emerald benefit, so you must be flying a OW airline to gain access.
Just noticed this paragraph on the 'benefits' page of the Qantas Club section on the QF website.
When visiting an international Qantas Club lounge, you are able to invite one guest each time you visit. Both you and your guest need to be travelling together further that day on a Qantas or British Airways flight. Platinum Frequent Flyers and their guest are welcome in the lounge, even when not travelling on Qantas or British Airways.
But strangely, its not mentioned in the T&C anywhere????
Any ideas if this still holds up in Singapore? ie Can QFF Plats access the SIN biz lounge at any time, when not flying with QF? Is the SIN QF/BA Biz lounge considered a Qantas Club??
thanks again.

I read on another thread that benefit had disappeared from the T&C's but was listed as a benefit for Platinum members. Yes, you should have access to the QF/BA SIN J lounge at any time.
Location: New York, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, in that order.

I believe that you need to have a boarding card for a seat in F to gain access to the Concorde Room, no matter how "elite" you are.
This has, I think, been mentioned in a another thread, but personally I think QF (and other airlines) would do well to adopt a similar lounge-entry policy - a 'First' lounge that is really restricted to F pax only (and maybe CL members).
A second-tier lounge could be for WP's and SG's, plus those holding a boarding-card for a seat in J. Non-rev passengers travelling in F would be restricted to the 2nd-tier lounge.
The third-tier lounge would be for those passengers who have paid for QC access. Hey, it would still be better than sitting out in the terminal with the Steerage passengers...
This would absolutely assist in maintaining the quiet, exclusive nature of the First lounges, which is one of the reasons why those of us who fly First class do so.

I am not sure the paid QC members would really be below a SG, they actually faid for the privlege, Ok so i am a lifetime member purchased when it was not so expensive and doing enough domestic Y to justify the expense, now i am SG and actually found it really not too difficult to attain.
Regardless i take your point about F lounge, i may make WP this year, maybe not but i could imagine it would be rather annoying for an F passanger to have the place filled up with people like me flying discount Y most of the time. Not very exclusive.
But i will change my mind if i do make WP this year
