Thanks very much Ditto and B747-437B. Sounds like I can make it work. For the Qantas airside desk though, would that be open more than 3 hours before the QF flight (or can I access it at any time from the transit area and just go back when it's open, I'm not sure if I pass through additional security, etc. after that)?
