Even when Alaska opens an SFO lounge, you'll still need to go through another around of security to get to the Qantas gate (and they don't participate in precheck).
Any chance you're in business? I was in the Cathay lounge a few days ago for SFO-MEL on Qantas in business class with an Alaska mileage ticket. Second time this year I've been sent there. Much nicer than the Air France KLM lounge which accepts Priority Pass during restricted hours if you have that.or can get in as a Board Room member. Have Cathay lounge photos linked below in the lounge gallery.
