Got a trip planned in a few months time, EDI-LHR-SIN-SYD in J, SYD-DOH in F with QR, followed by DOH-LHR-EDI in J. Myself (Gold) + my better half (Blue). I had pretty well worked out the best lounges to use thanks to help from this forum on the Singapore options (QF F, QR if open), also planned to use QF F in SYD and Al Safwa in DOH.
Now we are being joined by my daughter, who has bought a ticket in Y for mostly the same flights, all except she's doing the last leg direct DOH-EDI with QR. She is BAEC Blue. So to get us all into lounges together it sounds like we will be limited to the J lounges (QF or BA in Singapore, QF in SYD, Gold lounge (OWS) in Doha). That way my wife has her own access based on her J ticket and I can guest my daughter.
Am I correct with my assumptions, or can anyone suggest any better options? Any way to get into F lounges?
In SYD, I believe QR use the Air New Zealand lounge, can I guest into this lounge?
Finally, does anyone have experience with flying QR F - can I invite my daughter to join us for a drink in the F cabin (as I think you can with BA in F) or the onboard bar?
