Maybe you are right - I would love to see that in writing from Qantas or on their web site!

I was at BNE midday 30 June and the J Lounge didn't look open. Maybe they have the secret entrance elsewhere.

They've thankfully taken down a glass partition opposite the QP bar to make it seem roomier though.

In thread http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/comm...ers-11190.html (No Anytime access for Platinum members to 1st lounge or new J lounges from 0408) , the OP posted details from an email received from QF which stated

"And when flying domestically within Australia you will need to be flying that day with Qantas or Jetstar to access the new Business Lounges. "
"Domestically, if you are not flying Qantas or Jetstar you are still welcome in The Qantas Club."

Thanks for the heads up and confirmation, Dave.

It's to the right of the entry desk.

OK... I can confirm that you need to be a WP/OWE and travelling that day or a J pax to enter the new lounges.

Arrived at BNE QP with my WP card (which admittedly had expired and QF havent sent me a replacement yet

) ready to gain entry with my guest travelling on JQ.

Was told rules and was then offered to use the QP as I, as the WP member, was not travelling today.

QP was packed as per usual, however you can view the Jlounge through a little window from the QP and it also looked reasonably full.

My guest had never been to a QP before and couldnt believe that airports had these lounges... she thought it was heaven!!

<-- actual look I gave her!
