Travelling QF International Business - Lounge access for guest in Economy?

[eric2011]

I'm travelling BNE-AKL in J. Can I guest a person travelling in Y (not a QF FF) into the QF International lounge at BNE. I think it is ok but just want a second opinion.

TIA

Yes - provided your guest is travelling on a QF, JQ or oneworld marketed and operated flight on the same day

Thanks, Just as I thought, She's travelling on the same flight as my wife and I, we are both in J but unfortunately she's in Y.

As a second question, is there anyway I can use an upgrade cert for her if shes not QF FF

She must also be a family member^:

^ An Eligible Family Member means any person the Member can demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of Qantas, as being related to that Member in any of the ways described below:
- husband/wife
- parent/step-parent
- domestic partner/de facto
- child, including foster and step-child
- brother/sister
- half brother/sister
- grandparent
- grandchild
- son/daughter-in-law
- brother/sister-in-law
- father/mother-in-law
- uncle/aunt
- nephew/niece
- first cousin

I reckon it’s low risk if your friend identifies as one of those, esp if travelling on the same flight.
