[RealtimeY]

Sorry, missed that part!

First time travelling to Tokyo (Narita) in November on Qantas ticket in J. (Also QC member)
Which of the three One World Lounges would previous travellers recommend?

If the flight is on Qantas, you'll have access to the Cathay Pacific lounge and Japan Airlines Sakura lounge as well.

Thank you.

All 3?

Just to let anyone interested. On checking in advised Aspire lounge. Thanks to Doddler we tried our luck at JAL Sakura lounge and no problems with entry. Thanks
For your prompt advice Doddler.

Sakura lounge is the one to go for with Qantas J ticket

Hi all - apologies, this has probs been answered above but I'm not fluent in FF lingo. I'm a plain QC member and flying with family to Haneda on QF25 and then from Narita to Frankfurt on JL407. It has all been booked via Qantas as a rewards flight in economy.

My question is can I use any of the Narita lounges given the flight doesn't carry a QF number, it's JAL, and I'm only a scuzzy QC bronze FF?

No lounge access in this situation.

Would have worked out if you had booked the Business Award.

Thanks for the clear responses all. If only my points balance extended that far!

Seems a bit cheeky of them given its booked as a Qantas ticket. But maybe I'm just annoyed at my indecisive family causing me to leave it all too late to get good ole QF1 all the way...

There’s nothing to lose by going to speak with the Lounge staff anyway. Just act dumb and have proof of QC membership with you.

Which lounge would you suggest? Not exactly a QF club at Narita, just partner lounges.

Sorry to say - acting dumb is extremely unlikely to work. The Qantas Club rules are pretty clear, and in this case your departure is on a JL flight number, and there is no Qantas operated lounge.

If there is any country in the world that knows how to interpret and follow rules with precision, it is Japan.

Sakura is the Business lounge, so I would try that one, but expect rejection. Nothing to lose.

Edit: I’d give it a go and don’t be put off. Just don’t expect to get in. And, we are aware of the rules.

The JL lounge staff won't know what a Qantas Club membership is.

The Aspire Lounge staff will - that's the QF partner lounge at NRT and allows access for QC members on a QF flight number.

But I'm pretty confident of a rejection at both...

Just blame the rest of your family when you do the Walk-of-Shame

The problem can be that i find there's more to eat/do landside than airside. So if you go in earlier expecting to potentially go to the lounge, you give up some shopping and food.

Though it seems the OP was transiting Narita, so going landside is unlikely a preferred option.

Transiting from HND to NRT iirc so they're landside.
