How do you get yourself and 2 friends into Qantas Club
Looking for suggstions here,
Beg the front counter staff to let your extra friend in
or
Find a another Qantas Club member travelling alone,
My other question if someone approached you needing a way into Qantas Club would do it.

Otherwise, you could always purchase an annual guest pass, which will increase your guest entitlement by one (two guests for QC and SG members, three for WP's).

How about this option???
On the mark suggestions thus far.
Bundy Bear, I'm assuming you are talking about BNE QP...you could always find a friendly WP
(even better, one from FT) who needs no excuse to come to the QP for a drink....of course, you'd have to be flying at a suitable time for them to turn up...
Othewise, it's handy to know the CSA at the Reception Desk...

Beg borrow or barter a silver guest pass.
Or
Just ask a nice person traveling alone can they accept a partner.
Most will.
Actually most acxtually like to use their status to get someone else in.
I am sure that is true of most of us here ^

I would certainly help anyone who wanted access and gladly bring them in as my guest.
The one way I can think of to get yourself and 2 guests in, is make QF Platinum.
I doubt begging at the MEL QP will do any good from previous experiences.

There is one other way, and I guess it's time to reveil my old QC SP tactics for getting multiple people through the glass doors.
This will only work for domestic lounges. Intl you're out of luck unless you act extreemely stupid.
a) Check in & get boarding pass with all your buddies.
b) Give your boarding pass to your 3rd friend and tell them to wait 5 minutes before coming in.
c) Go into QP, and :
- Tell them you left your boarding pass at the security checkpoint, how stupid you are and that you need a new one, on an exit row
You and your 1st mate get in fine. Your 3rd mate can waltz in 5 min later and bring buddy #4 if required. Buddy #3 must also remember to walk swiftly and not to stop at all, flashing the BP for barely enough time for the agent to read the Qantas Club text.
The only other alternative is to wait until the door agent rotates so they do not recognise you bringing in a 2nd guest.
I even used this tactic as a WP, gaining access for my travelling family (6) in BNE. 2 at a time, 1 had my boarding pass, but of course I did not need to look stupid with a "lost" boarding pass

Happy Boozing! ^

Well didn't get to find out,
Flight out of Brisbane got to the airport about 30 minutes before flight so didn't bother trying to get in, check in, through security a browse of the newsagent and then there was only a few minutes to go.
This afternoon I mentioned to one of my friends that it could be a small problem so decided to stay outside, didn't feel like joining the what he called the "yuppy crowd" (spelling).
Maybe next time, thanks for all your suggestions.

Check in as per usual...give my boarding pass with QC status on it to my 2 travelling guests to get in, then 5-10 minutes later, use my Eticket and QC card to get in??
