Same

Mind you I think she would love a facial.

Re: Non-F-Class PAX massage success at SYD

Can you please report back on your successes in the F lounge?

There is also some suggestion that a QF F passenger who is in F because they have points upgraded from J also gets inferior treatment in the lounge (for example, such an upgraded passenger cannot pre book a massage and must turn up on the day and take their chances).

Also, I'd like to know how long it takes to order and eat lunch in the restuarant.

I am on QF73 next month and want to know how early to get into Sydney (flying from Mel). At the moment flying in at 12:20pm [SYD Domestic] but it may be worth getting on an earlier flight as SFran flight leaves at 1:55pm.

[BTW Default flight from Mel was arriving in at 12:50pm [SYD Domestic] but I asked my TA to put us on an earlier flight].

The way I see it, 2 hours before flight take off would be ideal. Enough time for a chance at a couple of treatments but not too much time in the lounge.

Not sure. As a F Award customer, I was offered a booking during the call they make the day before your trip. As the upgrades clear <24 hours before the flight, you would already be at the end of the list as other passengers would have made bookings. Also, upgrades often clear during times when the lounge is closed, so that's another delay with making a booking.

Not too long really. I'm a fast eater, so the meals disappear pretty quickly. That said, it doesn't take long for them to arrive. Perhaps 10-15 mins at most? I believe you can advise that you are in a rush, and they might get the meal out quicker.

I couldn't agree more. Weekly massage, bi-facial, mani&pedi is an absolute must.

That is correct - I have not been able to pre-book treatments.

Depends how strange they are.
I still remember my Japanese massage in Ubud where a dainty young thing walked all over me...literally.
Early August is our next date with the SYD Flounge.Hoping the 2 of us might get a massage,meal and champers but not necessarily in that order.

Hey, whatever floats your boat is fine by me.
