The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

Okay so I might have found an option, however would I be able to link a complimentary lounge invitation with QF292 (SIN to SYD operated by Finnair for Qantas)?

Technically it's a QF flight number but just the flight operated by Finnair metal.

For all intents and purposes this is a qantas flight, with qf having leased the plane. It may say ‘finnair’ on the outside, but the contract of carriage is with qantas. That’s different from a code-share.

Whether or not you’ll be able to link your lounge pass at such a busy period is another issue you might want to consider. The lounge will be at capacity at that peak time, and lounge passes may not be able to be used.

I believe you could link your pass as it's QF wet lease. The issue may be that being the busy holiday season, capacity restraints in place. Changi is one of the best airports as we all know, can think of worse places to be in without a Lounge @MelbFlyer

Edit : as @MEL_Traveller just said!

Thankyou, I did also think about this and am also resigned to the fact that I may have to use a paid lounge just in case the complimentary invitations aren't accepted due to being within a peak period.

There's no black and white on it though, other than "the use of complimentary lounge passes may be suspended during peak travel periods such as school holidays".

It would be helpful to be black or white if it is suspended or not, rather than saying "may". I guess I'll find out only once I eventually book a ticket and try to link an invitation.

My understanding is that you will be able to Link your complimentary Lounge Invitation, but access to the Lounge may be declined by QF Lounge Reception staff due to capacity limitations at the time you attend.

7. Accessing the Eligible Lounge​

7.1 Lounge Access is subject to these Terms and Conditions and to the Lounge entry terms and conditions.

7.2 Where Eligible Customers are declined Lounge Access due to capacity or operational reasons, they may request for a reinstatement of the Invitation, which is at Qantas' reasonable discretion.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep looking around for options
