March 2011

This is going to be a busy month for me - taking the month off to travel:

6 MAR 1700-1800 SYD T3 QP (can guest 1)
6 MAR 1830-1930 BNE QP (can guest 1)

12 MAR 1530-1630 TSV QP (can guest 1)
12 MAR 1830-1915 BNE QP (can guest 1)

13 MAR 1300-1400 SYD T1 QP

Then 4 days of ridiculously overambitious status runs (I know there will be some tears here) from which I hope to emerge as WP!

22 MAR 1730-1830 SFO AAdmirals Lounge (is it possible to access the BA Terraces F Lounge if you're flying a domestic connection on AA to LAX to connect with QF12?)
22 MAR 2030-2230 LAX T4 AA F Lounge (to check it out), then OneWorld TBIT F Lounge

25 MAR 0800-0900 SYD T3 DOM J Lounge (already guesting 2)
28 MAR 1500-1600 CNS QP (already guesting 2)

22 MAR 1730-1830 SFO AAdmirals Lounge (is it possible to access the BA Terraces F Lounge if you're flying a domestic connection on AA to LAX to connect with QF12?)

Alas no. Different terminals. AA is moving terminals in the not too distant future though but the BA lounge is in the International terminal. The AC in SFO is nothing special, but the staff are great!

Also the BA F "Lounge" is just a room off the main lounge that says 'First Class'. Better booze (Champagne/Tanqueray No. 10 Gin etc) and a few finger sandwiches, cheese and crackers. I was escorted in the other week which was kind of funny; I was the only one in there for 90 minutes. There's no lounge dragon there, it really is just double doors into another room.

22 MAR 2030-2230 LAX T4 AA F Lounge (to check it out), then OneWorld TBIT F Lounge

Keep in mind that AA flights can take 48-72 hours (on average) to post to QFF. They appear to have been faster of recent times though, so keep an eye on your status. You may also have to have AA remove your FF card and re-enter it once you qualify. When I qualified, I took one flight as WP, got to next airport to check-in and their system printed out a OW Sapphire BP. A quick fix at the T4 LAX A/C and I was into the flagship lounge though.

Enjoy the status run. They're fun And the T4 LAX Lounge is probably nicer than the OW F Lounge at TBIT (it gets very very busy and the wifi sucks). If you need wifi in the AA lounges, just ask for a card and they'll happily provide you with one (once you're WP).

Ah, pity. I checked my tickets - it said that AA is leaving from Terminal 3. No worries.

Thank you - good advice - I will see what happens, as on 15 MAR I will be PS, 17 MAR I'll be SG, and 19 MAR I'll be WP (all going well). Then departure 22 MAR SFO-LAX-SYD. It's going to be an interesting few days.

Thanks - I'll hang around at T4 for a little while - but I want to give myself plenty of time to walk around and go through Security again at TBIT.

Anyway, I won't take up this thread any more with something OT. Thank you for your help!

We shall see how this one goes.

I am booked to leave Friday but will more than likely change flight to Thursday as I am going to Thailand for 2 weeks that weekend and I need to try and see my doctor in Sydney soon(ish)....

If I end up changing to QF805, I'll happily guest you into the J lounge. I'll ping you if this happens.

I arrive at 8:25 on the 7th, happy to guest you if you're there early.

Well seriously, I'm willing to go back to the airport in the afternoon and use my arrival access if no one else can help. But I do see Paddy55 might be there at a better time.

Oh and my counting is wrong? but you +1 can get in and then you have the pass?
Edit: yes I did count wrong, you need only need help at one airport not both. (stupid me)

I do have one guest pass, so with Shaun's help in MEL I am all sorted now. Of course, I would love not to have to burn the guest pass if someone is around and it is convenient, but I certainly wouldn't expect you to return to the airport just for that. Awesome offer though!

 

[Zippy7]

I very rarely see anyone travelling at the same times as me except for zippy7 in HKG one time.

Hehe - I'm going to be in HKG in the afternoon/evening of Wed 9 MAR.
I'll be slumming it in one of the CX J lounges unless someone can get me into the Flounge
