Plaza Premium Lounge at Adelaide Airport

Don't they get to charge QR a fee if you're admitted?

In this case, likely yes.

Absent a specific agreement between two discrete oneworld airlines, the marketing carrier pays.

I doubt QF and QR have such an agreement.

I wonder whether QR refuses to pay QF, and/or whether they could get away with this since they've provided an alternative lounge option?

I am considering purchasing lounge access even though I'll have QA lounge access pre customs.

The website is actually selling in 1hr blocks which seems bizzare, do they actually enforce if it goes over the time?

Yes, you will be fine. Just be aware that they will close at exactly 10am which is before your flight starts boarding so they will evict you
I believe they only sell a 1hr or 2hr slot and that they do enforce it

I guess you’ll have to decide on the merits of paying for access or not.
Yes it’s a comfortable environment, the barista made coffee is good, the breakfast on offer is the usual and is OK.
You might consider just buying breakfast in the terminal prior to passing through immigration. Also if you’re flying J you get priority path access through immigration;saving time.

Do it - it's a nice lounge, and you'll have almost the whole place to yourself after SQ boards

Not sure how much they enforce the stay limit, but the downside of being the only person in the lounge is that it would be obvious if you're there longer than allowed.

 

[Pushka]

The area just prior to immigration is excellent now. Lots of food and drink options. I'd not bother with that for 1 hour. Plane watching upstairs is always interesting at that time and it's not crowded.

I think they mentioned that they had QF lounge access so could get a bit of brekky and a coffee in the QF lounge

It's official opening was today. They mentioned you don't need status to access. Maybe it should have said, even with status you can't access it.

Yes, always been able to pay for access. Not worth it.

I was told today that they have increased their opening hours by 90 minutes so hours are now 0700-1130 for now.
This will allow passengers on SQ, MH, QR, NZ and possibly FJ to enter the lounge

Still not worth it though.

just checked my upcoming flight with singapore airline, 4 business class, departure time is 6:35pm
it means there's no international lounge for us to go...what a joke, a lounge that only opens 3.5hours in the morning.

Unfortunately with the lack of International flights out of ADL at that time of day no one wants to foot the bill for the lounge to open at evenings.
There was some talk that SQ were trying to organise something but that seems to fallen through

The facilities near the immigration area on the top floor are much better than the one hungry jacks used to be, so likely you will get a better feed up there anyway. But agree. It's pathetic. You can use the Virgin lounge pre?
