I didn't imply it was a requirement. I'm interested to see what happens to OW. If say QR contract to the Air NZ lounge, I'm wondering if QF status would allow entry.
Given VA status didn't allow entry while flying NZ because QF was a contract lounge I don't know what to expect from a similar situation but within the OW alliance. QR offered the best sc for QFF out of Perth vs any other Aussie port last year. I am very curious to see where they land.
