QF are allowing their own J Pax/Gold/QF Club to access the Flounge as the J lounge isn’t open.
Plaza Premium lounge is opening for Emirates flights (Tue, Fri and Sat). Emirates is currently using them as the contract lounge.
Oh excellent, thank you, I am travelling on Xmas Eve which is a Friday so I may be in luck!
@Amanad78: slightly OT for this thread but as EK pax you and I are also in luck for lounge access in transit at DXB next week. EK tweeted on 9 Dec that all their T3 premium lounges (7 in total I think) are now open after a long period with just the J & F lounges in Concourse B operating. There is independent corroboration in a couple of threads on FT. This should reduce lounge congestion and it’s good anyway to have options other than the J lounge in Concourse B. Practical choice of lounge can depend, though, on duration of transit, gates for arriving and connecting flights, and one’s willingness to hike around the vast T3. Have a safe journey.

| International lounges | Darwin International Transit Lounge, Melbourne International First Lounge (3 Hours before QF9/QF35/QF93)¶, Sydney International First Lounge ¥, Singapore International Business Lounge (4 Hours Prior to QF*QF), The Qantas International London Lounge (6:00 am to 2:00 pm) and Los Angeles International Business Lounge (3pm to 8.45pm). |
I'm a bit puzzled by the SYD times... Does the lounge actually shut for ~1 hour between SIN and LHR flights? Seems odd.
Even more interesting is the HNL flight 103 which leaves 7:20pm. Is it really going to open just 35 minutes before that flight boards?
oh the humanity! Will SOMEONE think of the children?!!!Sad face for our bosses having to slum it in the J lounges eh
This seems to indicate MEL Flounge is closed for the QF LAX departure. Surely not?!
One would think so, but that is what is currently on the web page. QF93 is currently scheduled for 10:55pm departure. Since it only resumed today, the lounge hours will indeed change to reflect that and they will update the site soon.
Saw that, too. Thanks. I wonder if they just haven't updated it - the first MEL LAX flight is tonight.
For anyone wondering - can confirm 100% that the Flounge *will* open for LAX flight. Lady at reception said 7:50pm opening.
My friend is at the Plaza Premium Lounge in BNE tonight before her EK flight and has reported that drinks are free but described the food options as awful:
Hope it's improved by Friday. Will probably just drink and wait for dinner on the flight (menu looks pretty good)That looks like a dog took a cough in the Bain-Marie let’s be honest
