At least there is a partner of some kind. But very limited.
Only destination in TAS is Burnie, 20,000 people (Hobart is only 60,000) and you can't cross the continent to Perth.
But, Priority Pass works in the Rex lounges! (SYD, MEL, ADL, and CBR.
I'm also watching for other ways to get to Oz. I've flown on VA which is gone now, but also via SGN on VN and TPE on CI. I'm planning a trip for next spring that would probably be through Europe at least 1 way. Both AF and KL routings involve travel via SIN and the SIN-Oz legs are on non-ST airlines. VN is flying LHR-Oz via SGN/HAN now. But TPE still seems to be closed for transit - at least according to the CI www site.
