Okay. Time for a straw poll. I need to know if I am being unreasonable about my expectation and anger here.
The situation is this. I have Platinum frequent flyer status with QANTAS. I booked 2 business class seats on a direct flight from MEL to NAN. The redemption E-Ticket showed FJ934 despite their being a QANTAS code share flight number QF3867. (For background ALL QANTAS booked passengers on direct flights from MEL - NAN are on the same Fiji Airways operated aircraft as QANTAS do not operate their own hardware on the route.....And Fiji Airways has special status as a "One World Connect" partner. Probably because QANTAS part owns them).
So here's the source of my anger. When I called to confirm that I would be able to use the MEL First class lounge as a Platinum member flying on a QANTAS code share flight with Business class seats booked with QANTAS Frequent flyer points, on a One World Connect partner... I was told NO.!!!

Thoughts?
