I flew QF J LAX-AKL in February. When I checked in, QF gave me an invitation to the J lounge. I'd read (here and in the L.A. Times) about the TBIT temporary F and J lounges and asked QF about the F lounge, and was told they didn't use it, only the J. So I took the shuttle bus out to J and back. It's not a bad lounge (for being a bunch of trailers lashed together), but the busses are annoying. (Also flew QF J in November, before the old lounges were closed, and then they insisted that OW emeralds weren't eligible to use the F lounge.)
