Reserve massage etc. in Qantas First Class lounge?
Flying Sydney to LAX in first class, using AA frequent flier miles, QF 11 at 1:05 pm.
Would like to reserve a massage in the spa prior to day of the flight. Is this possible and if so, what is the procedure?
How long before flight time would we be able to use the lounge, and is there any other advice you can give for making the most of our time in the lounge?

They usually call you on the number in the reservation the day before and ask what you require.
if you will be away maybe you should call the res line and ask for the concierge to call you.
they then gave me a cell no to call the day before.

Maximising F Lounge Time
As noted above, the First Host will call you the day before to organise Spa appointments etc. Check-in opens 4 hours before the LAX departure and if this is your first visit to the F Lounge I would aim to be there at the the time check-in opens. The Express Path Area through Immigration and Security is immediately in front of the F check-in desks. Just be careful not to eat too much food in the lounge if you plan on having the 8 course Tasting menu SYD-LAX 
The link below will take you to a beginners guide to the F Lounge

I didn't get a call by 2:30PM the day prior to QF127 so I called the lounge, they took my requested treatment details and preferred time and the First host called me back.

I have seen posts for the SYD F lounge phone number, but I will need the MEL F lounge phone number in the coming months. Does anyone know what it is, and if so can you post it or PM it to me?
Thanks - Bob

SPA Reservation- Not Flying F, but OW Emerald
I'm not flying F, however I'll have access to the First Lounge in SYD due to my OW Emerald Status. Does anyone know if I will still be able to reserve a massage, and if so how (without the First Host call)?

I'm on QF127 SYD-HKG next week in F, but I'm in NZ and flying in on QF50. I put my NZ mobile in the QF booking. Any experience on if a first host will call me on that or if I should try to call to reserve spa time (which might be super-tight given opening time and departure time to HKG).
