Talking Q Flounge day spa .. complementary and all ..

Just booked myself in for my first 50 minute full body massage in the Flounge in Sydney.. all complementary! Wow .. that's going to be a treat.. think I'll ask to transit through Sydney from here on, on International routes...

... crossing my fingers that'll be a good experience..

That in itself is almost worth to retain the Platinum card priveledges I recon .. only 190 SC's left and I'm flying out SYD-SIN-LHR-OSL today to start with.

Hmmm...

Assume that given you 'booked in' that you are flying F ??

Am 0 for 4 showing up (3hrs before flight) and asking for a booking (once even flying BA F)

No. These days I'm mostly flying Y or discount-Y... but just flaunted the platinum card, and they were very happy to oblige. In fact I was VERY impressed with the facilities as well as the girls' professionalism ..

.. right now I am in transit in Heathrow (T4), and asked for the showers here.. and found out that they've also got a complementary SPA here too .. so I booked myself in for a treatment here as well .. kills time in a good way, I recon..

;-)

Wow you must be charmed - walking in and being able to book a massage at LHR T4 is no mean task.

I have managed about an 80% success rate at LHR T1 FLounge, generally when in transit from a long-haul arrival to a short-haul onward flight.

Arrived at LHR T4 on a Mid March Friday last year. I hit the arrivals lounge shortly after 11am and there were two 30 minute slots available if I have been so inclined (Noon and 1pm IIRC)

I assume the free spa facility is only for International First class ticket holders ?

From the Qantas report it looks like they have the same facility in Melb too.

Does anyone know if it can be used for both arrivals & departures?

Can you pre-book the massage?

Thanks,

Gary.

You can also get it if you are a QFF Plat or OneWorld Emerald member. Note, that you do not have to be flying on QF if that's the case. See this page on qantas.com.

You cannot access the lounge as an arrivals lounge.

If you have an international transfer in SYD then you would have access to the First Lounge between flights, i.e. I am flying LAX-SYD on QF12 and then transferring to QF136 SYD-MEL later this month so will have access to the First Lounge in SYD.

F Pax can pre-book the service. WP and OWE get pot luck on availability - thinking of getting a facial myself this weekend
