Can I access International Busines Class Lounge on redemption

[whereiskym]

Hi all

Just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience in accessing International Business class lounge when travelling on. Jetstar Business Class Redemption Booking. I am a Bronze member. I spoke on the Qantas chat lline and they said bag not but the frequent flyer centre said yes. I just dont to gave to waste the two passes that I have if I dont need to.

Looking forward for any thoughts.

Probably not... I'm assuming that a redemption ticket will be like buying a business class ticket without the max bundle, which is what gives you lounge access if you don't have status.

This Lounge access for Business Max passengers | Jetstar says you do on a business max bundle , but another review site who wrote a review about redemptions says you dont.
Could try it on ?

No issue. Your status shouldn't matter.

I think you're out of luck. From point hacks:
Unless you hold elite status with Qantas or are a Qantas Club member, you won’t get lounge access before a Jetstar Business Class flight redeemed with points. Only Business Max fares purchased with cash will deem you eligible.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I have a couole of lounge passes from a credit card. I might just use them instead to make sure can access.

I booked a classic award on JQi in business class and was given lounge access in a port where there are no Qantas lounges.

So, I can say, from personal experience, it worked for me.
