I've read that Qantas is now using the new Cathay Pacific lounge at YVR and Business Class passengers + Platinum members etc gain access but there's no clarity on whether these types of lounge invites can also work?
My suspicion is that these only work on Qantas' own lounges and not partner lounges but thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience with this.
Thanks!
Will not work at YVR because Qantas doesn't operate the lounge there.
People that only get into the Cathay lounge at YVR include:
- Qantas Chairmans Lounge, Platinum One, Platinum and Gold members traveling on Qantas, Cathay Pacific or another oneworld partner
- Equivalent oneworld Sapphire and Emerald members traveling on Qantas, Cathay Pacific or another oneworld partner
- Cathay Silver members travelling on Cathay Pacific only
- Annual Qantas Club members (1, 2 or 5 year subscriptions) traveling on Qantas only
- Cathay Green or Silver members using a mid-status lounge pass traveling on a flight marketed or operated by Cathay Pacific only
- Cathay Green or Silver members using a purchased lounge pass traveling on Cathay Pacific only, with the ticket number starting with 160-
General lounge passes are
only for Qantas operated lounges, excluding LAX TBIT. Auckland currently doesn't even make the cut due to the QF lounge being shut, and peeps being redirected to Emirates or Strata.
IIRC: Lounge passes can be transferred to and from, so in the instance that your son couldn't link it, they could send it back to you.
