QF International Arrivals Lounge Melbourne
Hello, I did a quick search but couldn't find the answer - is there a QF arrivals lounge with shower facilities in Melbourne (international arrivals) please?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

QF does not have any arrivals lounges. In fact, I don't think there any landside lounges in Australia period.

Technically possible to use the QF Domestic lounge and the J Lounge at MEL if your incoming flight is on QF in F/J. Allowed 1 guest. The terminals at MEL are walking distance from each other.

No international landside lounges, domestically you have the DJ MEL lounge.
Even SYD Airport managers claim they dont see the business case in an Arrivals.
Given the number of early morning long-haul arrivals, the fact you normally cant checkin to a hotel till 2pm (occasionally earlier) unless paying for an extra night not used, this has always surprised me...

Thanks everyone.
I arrive at 0725 on a Cathay flight and am leaving for AKL on the 1730 QF flight. I have meetings in town that day, but obviously no hotel, and I am just trying to see whether I can have a shower. Are there showers in the F lounge when I depart that afternoon please?

Showers in the F Intl lounge for departure, as well as some good food!
With no other access in the morning, I would walk into the Qantas Domestic Terminal, go through security (no boarding pass needed) and enter the Domestic Qantas Club (you have a sameday flight on a oneworld airline (admittedly international) so should get access)

As for hotels, several in SYD have created an "arrivals lounge" of their own for those early-morning arrivals. For example the Harbour Marriott does this, so you can have a shower and leave luggage even if not able to check-in. Don't think any MEL hotels offer this service, but worth asking.

as it appears to be a same day departure and not just on a OW carrier but QF, I should imagine there would be no difficulty gaining access to the Dom lounge on arrival.
