Lounge access in Guangzhou if Qantas Gold
I'm Qantas Gold and flying soon from SYD-CAN on QF327 (China Southern metal). Although I have a Qantas flight number, China Southern is in Sky Team. Does anybody know if I will have lounge access in Guangzhou for the trip home? I've looked all over and can't seem to find this information. Thanks for any help!

I'm thinking not.
According to the QF Website, access is only to Qantas, oneWorld and associated lounges. Guangzhou is not listed.
To be eligible under oneWorld rules, you'd have to be flying on a oneWorld marketed and operated flight.
This appears to be a major drawback in the QF Asian strategy - and not one highlighted in the breathless media releases of yet another codeshare on an asian carrier.

Thanks very much for this information. The Guangzhou lounge access sounds pretty dubious. In the end I've decided to fly through Hong Kong--will at least have a nice place to wait for my flights!
