I recently bought first class tickets from Hong Kong for a friend's grandparents, so they could join the rest of their family in SYD for a reunion. They talked about the SQ 1st experience for the whole week, and the reunion was definitely the also-ran event... Lol...

Re: New Domestic Business Lounge Open Dates

Brisbane business lounge this morning at 5.50AM had plenty of spare seats. Lounge not quite finished yet with last part, assume showers & toilets to be completed. Breakfast food the same except there were hot pancakes with syrup. No Barista yet.

If she is anything like my significant other, she will love the FLounge. After her first visit, she regretted she did not take enough advantage of all that is offerred. For the next planned visit in Sept, she has ordered that we must get there at the maximum 3 hours prior to flight time, so she can really get her money's (??) worth .

Yes, my wife is the same. We get to the FLounge and have a nice leisurely breakfast or dinner before flying - the food is nicer and more pleasant than even J on the plane

Re: New Domestic Business Lounge Open Dates

Right so if I understand correctly, when I am flying JQ Starclass HNL - SYD - ADL I will be able to access the New SYD J lounge?

Can someone confirm?

Thanks.

If you are booked in business class for your Sydney to Adelaide flight, then you have access to the J lounge. Otherwise no. (I would be more confident if I knew how domestic star class worked)

I imagine that the flight is an extension of the HNL-SYD route, the aircraft will arrive/depart at/from the International terminal, thus making the lounge at the Dom terminal out of the question.

Re: New Domestic Business Lounge Open Dates

But, doesn't starclass book into Business for the Australian domestic leg on QF therefore lounge access (if you're not already eligible for lounge access some other way) is a given?

that would depend.
If JQ has booked you on QF metal in J for the SYD-ADL leg then yes
If you are on JQ then probably no.

I don't think any JQ Int (ie those with Star Class) fly SYD-ADL, think just BNE-SYD, CNS-SYD
