Hi All
New member here, just joined prior to a huge European Trip in July. Fly QF Melb to LHR return and hope to do some driving in UK and train travel through Europe to Belgrade. Any tips would be useful.
I have booked Economy Flex and paid for exit row seats, applying for upgrade to Business, but told unlikely to happen.
 
Offer expires: 18 Mar 2025

- Earn up to 100,000 bonus Qantas Points*
- Enjoy an annual $450 Qantas travel credit
- Don't forget the two complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations and two visits to the Amex Centurion Lounges in Melbourne and Sydney.

Welcome to AFF family @Angela Todorovic

I am not really sure getting QC membership will help in getting the upgrade , assuming that was your query.

No, I wondered if I purchased the club (just for me) then invite my Husband into the lounge whilst we are in transit QF1 & QF2 for two hours. we can freshen up etc. as we have no interest in wondering through the airports
 
Another welcome to AFF, @Angela Todorovic !

As to your QC question - if you're coming back from LHR, the flight to SIN is almost as long!
I see that you're thinking of the Qantas lounge access along the way. That really depends on what value you place on various features that are important to you.
On a return trip, you'd be looking at up to 4 lounge visits. (SYD, SIN then LHR, SIN)

The asking price of QC is quite steep if this were your only purpose for it in the 12 months of membership. There is the new-ish flexible membership - you'd both need to join (x 2 joining fee) as that level doesn't allow guests, whereas regular QC allows the one.

Perhaps one of the pay-per-visit lounges might be a better fit? I believe the is a Plaza Premium in T1.

Thanks, any experience with Priority Pass?
