The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[pacifictraveller01]

Hi everyone, I’ve booked a Qantas Classic Rewards economy flight from Brisbane-Dubai. The ticket number is EK as it’s an Emirates flight. I’m Qantas Points Club Plus so have complimentary Qantas Club membership through that. Can I access the Qantas or Emirates lounge in Brisbane prior to my flight?

No, you needed to have booked a QF flight number (with cash) to get access when travelling on EK.

I was wrong! Thanks @gaz0303

I would say yes based on this tablez
How the fare was paid for doesn’t matter.

Basic question: is there a limit to how many times one can change a QFF Classic Rewards flight online? Aware that it will cost 5000 points each time

There is no published limit.

MELB T1

I have my statusless +1 and +0.5 arriving to Melb this arvo, with a bit of a wait before their regional shuttle bus.

Does the domestic lounge in T1 allow access on arrival if I buy them a couple of passes?
They're J into Melb from BNE but I understand the Qantas lounge doesn't do on arrival (side eyes in Virgin.)

Sorry for such a basic question. I normally arrive into T3, so these rules are unfamiliar.

Unfortunately not.

The Parkroyal across the road however offers three-hour short stays for AUD109, or perhaps a visit to the restuarant/cafe for a meal there to pass some time?

Bummer, but great idea. Thanks!

Inconvenient timing of shuttle to depart exactly as they land, then not again for two hours.
