SYD Domestic QP Access on arrival from MEL - With onward International
Just wondering if QF will allow me access to the T3 QP on arrival from MEL, when I have a same day onward international with QF (Same PNR)?
I'll have some time between flights, and I don't want to transfer to International immediately.
The access rules technically say "Next onward flight that day must be on a Qantas^, Emirates^, Jetstar Airlines+ or oneworld marketed and operated flight.#", but I wasn't sure if they will stop me given my next onward is international not domestic - and tell me to go to the international lounge instead (I will eventually).
Anyone have any experience with this scenario?
I am QFF SG

Might try my luck anyway - last couple of times they have barely glanced at my boarding pass - I doubt for even long enough to actually see what it had written on it.

Does the arrivals access policy to the domestic lounge apply to other OW programmes also or is this a QF specific ruling? I'm BA gold (OW Emerald) and would find this useful as my connecting airline check-in at the International terminal won't open for another 3.5hrs after I arrive into SYD (Qatar/OW)

It's not arrivals access, it access before an onward oneworld flight (marketed and operated).

Thanks all, to add to this, both my inbound domestic and outbound international are in J, so not sure if that affords me any extra likelihood of access over and above QFF SG

however some people would prefer to get around to the international terminal and clear customs so they can head to the lounge and just relax before the flight.
