Hi all, newb here
I'm thinking about coming since I'll have just qualified as WP (thanks double status credit promo). So assuming there's no issue getting into the F lounge without an actual platinum card, since I doubt it'll come in time based on what I've read here, I'll have a guest spot.
If you've still got that spare guest spot.. Can you guest me?
Or if anyone else has a gust spot and is nice enough... I'll happily snap it up

(I'm also not 100% sure going to make it yet)
Highlights of the day:
Doorman at the entrance to the SYD F Lounge "oh 3 emeralds and only one guest!", me on reply "you ain't seen nothing yet", knowing that there were at least 20 more following close behind.
Lining up for JQ35 for over an hour, watching the line for star class getting longer and longer, and then the annoyed looms on their faces when they were told they were in the wrong line and had to get behind us
JQ35 after lift off announcement "jetstar would like to welcome all of the one world frequent flyers, and a special welcome to the Australian Frequent Flyer group"
Approaching immigration in MEL, and their was a immigration lady saying "please have your boarding pass and i.d. ready". The guy in front of me says "I accidentally ripped my boarding pass" and shows her. You know the old game where you rip a mintie wrapper around the edges to try and fet the longest, thinnest piece of paper? Well that's what he'd done with his boarding pass. I didn't hang around to see what the immigration officer thought when he got to the front of the line
Having my return DJ flight cancelled. Ok that wasn't a highlight, but when the lovely lady in the lounge offered me a 6pm flight (instead of the 8pm) and I said "no thanks, I'll take the 9pm, I've only just got here and we aren't ready to go home yet". "you're crazy" she says with a smile.
F lounge staff had a good laugh after we left apparently. Some of them commented that they were amazed those big strong boys managed to lift the Marc Newson furniture over their heads
I had to laugh when we were 'checking in' to the F lounge.
There were 4 of us (2 x WP, 2 x non) and the girl said "gee there's a lot of Platinums on the JQ flight today. Do you know each other or work for the same company maybe?' to which we just said "nope don't work with any of them".
Apparently RedRoo didn't have the word filter that far down, although at the end of the day, i'm sure they knew of course
Yeah, I couldn't help but giggle when I overheard one remark to the other as Lawlass, nlagalle, Danger and I were heading in:
"We'll have to remember to call JQ35 because there's a lot of 'em".
At that stage there were only a few of us in.
I also had to stifle laughter when the JQ check-in agent very helpfully offered me a seat on an earlier flight in case I didn't want to wait. My response "no thanks, I'm fine with the one I'm on"
Also *ahem* *shame* may require someone guesting me in as I am a VA boy here... Star Alliance over OW too
