Qantas club complimentary invitation

Hi,

I'm thinking of giving my qantas club complimentary invitation that I received when I reached my silver status to a family member. Can she use the invitation to access the qantas lounge in Perth International Airport or is it just limited to the domestic airport longe? Also, my family member has a 1 year old baby travelling with her; In the invitation it states that it is valid for 1 guest only. Does this also mean she won't be able to bring her baby in with this complimentary pass?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Qantas club complimentary invitation

You can give the pass to someone else, but you are not allowed to sell it (according to the terms on the pass). There are that many passes floating around out there from different methods (eg Qantas Amex, Silver Status, comps given by staff, even that stupid Ebay seller etc) that no-one can keep track of them anyway!

The baby shouldn't be an issue. Qantas won't break up a family in that way because only one pass is being used.

The pass can be used at the International airport in the Qantas Club Business Lounge.

I gave mine to my brother who used it in Hong Kong no problems at all. And he was flying on CX (not a codeshare flight!)

I personally wouldn't use it at Perth International, the room is no larger than my bedroom.

I would instead keep it and use it at the other end, on your way back.

That is debatable.

Qantas PER domestic lounge is open longer than Qantas international lounge and alcohol is available for more hours throughout the day....

Unless that's an exaggeration, you must have quite the large building in which to fit your bedroom!

IIRC, the PER int QP is at least ~20 x 15 metres.

Re: Qantas club complimentary invitation

Having spent an hour ir so in the PER Int lounge earlier in the week I can say that found it most adequate for pre-flight preparation. It was no different to using any other small port international lounge. There was sufficient seating for the passengers awaiting a fairly full QF77, and reasonable snacks and beverages much in line with what I have found in BNE. Its no FLounge, but its certainly ok.

My only concern with using an invitation pass is that it only opens about 90 mins before departure so not a lot of opportunity to use it over an extended period to get better "value". But most of us have better things to do that sit in a lounge unless forced by delays or long connection times.

I did find the security screen point to be very inefficient. It was a good thing there was not a huge queue. The staff seemed to be operating in slow motion.
