Will apparently include showers, unlike the IST lounge...

About time, but in the meantime I'll continue to enjoy the QF business lounge.

true

There is no doubt i enjoyed my last stop over in the qantas lounge. I was able to have a quick shower and get freshened up in 20-30mins. Plus a drink a bite to eat before reboarding. Quite a pleasent experience. Though the front desk didnt quite know i was allowed in first due to them being contracted by CI.

I am sure the new skyteam lounge will be atleast close to the same quality being that its new, where the Qantas lounge is not as new.

Yes, several skyteam airlines such as Garuda or the Chinese airlines do fly to Australia.

Yes, at least DL, KLM, KE, some of the Chinese partners, plus Virgin (VA and DL have a JV) and former DL partners MH and SQ.

Most of the airlines you mention are not skyteam (VA, MH and SQ have their own lounges at SYD).

KL does not fly to SYD.

The only one of these three with a lounge in the International terminal is SQ. MH have closed theirs, and VA only has domestic lounges.

I said that VA has a JV with DL.
I also identified SQ and MH as *former* DL partners.

DL, KLM, KE, CZ, and MU are indeed full members of SkyTeam.

KLM used to fly to SYD or at least FROM SYD. I've been on that flight.

Was that some time ago? I thought that for at least the last ten or so years, KLM has served SYD (and several other destinations in Australia/New Zealand) by code-sharing on MH out of KUL, rather than sending its own metal there. More recently, it has also started to code-share on CZ out of CAN as well.
