Apologies if this has already been answered, search was not helpful. My son is doing his first work trip (PER - SIN in Y) in a few days; as he is only NB (for now!) I have transferred a lounge pass to him which he has linked to the booking. He has also put in for an upgrade - while of course...

I haven’t heard of this before. Today, Melbourne Airport sent me an email giving me a free upgrade of my 3 day Value Carpark booking next week to a Terminal parking “as a special thank you” with an updated QR code to enter. I usually use the Value carpark for my trips to ease the pressure on...
