From posts on the first page of this thread, it sounds like if flying QF F from LAX to SYD and then connecting to AKL on a separate ticket I will be allowed into the QF SYD F lounge. I haven't bought the connecting ticket to New Zealand yet - should I choose a OW carrier just to be safe? And if so does cabin class matter on that ticket? Or am I good to go just by arriving on a QF F ticket?
