The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[dairyfloss]

Hello.
Looking for advice on how likely Qantas will be to let myself and 2 guests into the Sydney First Class Lounge. Flying J on CX if that matters.

I am WP, the others have no notable status. I understand that officially it is myself + 1 guest only, but what would the likelihood be that they would be generous and let my additional guest in? Flight time is quite late, 10.20PM.

Following from that, I am denied two guests, could I allow my 2 guests in while I go elsewhere? (forfeiting my flounge access)

Unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to ask, especially at that late hour. If it is a "No", I'd take one guest down to J (your least favourite guest ) and leave them there, and then come back with the other. You won't be able to guest in 2 in place of you + 1.

Cheers,
Matt.

What's the standard operating hours for the HBA/VIP Service Team?
I think I got lucky with reaching one of the VIP team recently to change one leg of a multi-city CR ticket - same flight on BA, but W -> J.
Looks like F has opened up on the same flight now so hoping to call up to do a similar change (since it errors out online) and hopefully not have the ticket get messed up lol.
