Our tickets were revenue; when I booked I had QF-coded option but they were thousands more than FJ-coded, so we were happy to give up the lounge access and just buy something in the terminal.
We were allowed access to the FJ lounge in NAN ahead of the NAN-LAX flight as expected, based on class of service.
