Gosh... .
So what should I do?
I'm Silver on BA, and I'm flying domestic flights with Qantas in Australia (on economy) while crediting the flights to Alaska.
Will I be denied access?
I asked Qantas - they told me to ask BA. I asked BA and they said there's no problem.
Any advice, folks?
Thanks!

BA Silver = Oneworld Sapphire
Denied boarding (flight) ----> No
Denied lounge access ----> Show your physical card. The risk is they may want to change the ffp the flight credits to. See post 11 above (~2 years ago)

Sapphire privileges
  • Access to Business Class lounges
  • Access to Business Class priority check-in
  • Access to preferred or pre-reserved seating*
  • Priority on waitlists and when on standby*

Why do you think that you would be denied boarding?

If you do not have your BA Silver card , you will not be allowed in the lounge though

For abundant clarity, OWS gives access to Qantas Club lounges domestically, not Domestic Business Lounge (OW Emerald).

Sounded like to me that the OP just didn't pay enough attention to what they were writing (we've all done that) rather than asking a bizarre question, although the response was definitely in a humorous vein. In the context of this thread, I automatically assumed the OP meant to write "Will I be denied access to the lounge?" Not an unreasonable assumption to make.

Now, they could have meant to write whether they would be "Will I be denied priority boarding?". In which case the answer is that it probably doesn't matter, as by all accounts QF isn't that good at priority boarding anyway.

Or the OP could have said “will I be denied access to the Priority Boarding queue?” which as we know has almost no correlation with priority boarding.

No, you won't be denied boarding.

Typo... .Fixed.
I meant to write - "denied access (to the lounge)".
Thanks for the correction.
