Hi all

I am flying in F MEL/SYD/LAX/JFK on 29 Dec.

I am writing as to what is the best lounge for an F class passenger to use in MEL. I know at the transit in SYD it is clearly the excellent NZ lounge which i have been to many times. This is the first time though from MEL.

Merry Christmas

Are you flying domestic J on QF between MEL and SYD?

If so, you will have access to the domestic business lounge I'm the MEL QF domestic terminal. There is no F between MEL and SYD.

If you were flying MEL - LAX QF in F, you have have access to the excellent QF F lounge in MEL.

Presuming given you are posting in this forum you are flying QF in F.

And assuming you will be on a domestic flight MEL-SYD (QF4xx) in J Class then

MEL - QF Domestic Business lounge
SYD - QF First Lounge (definitely not the NZ lounge)
LAX - QF TBIT Frist Lounge during layover

Who are you flying with for each sector and in what class(es)?

Without that information, definitive answers are not possible.

QF F Lounge MEL !!!
If you have access, the Qantas First lounge in MEL is pretty fabulous.... equal to or exceeds the one in SYD.
As an aside, I just transited HKG, and the WING F lounge seems a bit dated. (No wall hooks in shower, lukewarm water in sink when I shaved, no bacon with eggs at breakfast).

I now prefer the Cabin over the Wing (including its F section).

I saw the Cabin on the airport map. Is that new? Just, I didn't have a gate for my ongoing flight yet, and the Wing is right by after security, so very convenient. I did go to The Pier First Class when I got my gate, and it seemed nicer, less crowded for sure. Will try the Cabin in future.

The Cabin's at gate 23 so not that far off The Wing.

Since this is in the OW forum - I am going to assume you are flying QF F.

In which case the Sydney QF F lounge is far better than then NZ lounge. There's a sit down restaurant, as well as the Payot spa that you'd be entitled to book a session with if you are travelling in F. Has an excellent view of the main north-south runway as well
