Guide Has been updated! Happy Flying! :)

Any Requests for other Regions/Countries?

Thanks for taking the time to create this thread! ^

One little addition: NZ has a seasonal flight SYD-RAR (2x/3x weekly during the winter?)

Re Air Canada: You could add (YYZ-)YVR-SYD / SYD-YVR(-YYZ) as the YVR-YYZ leg operated under the same flight number (AC33/AC34), and many booking engines will show YYZ-SYD as a direct flight.

Thanks for updating. Can you add NLK to the list of airports?

We are flying TG F from SYD-BKK. Only have about any hour. Recommendations for koru club vs. SQ F lounge?

Koru Club is very good, but big and noisy - no F section, SQ F lounge is small and quiet and has Champagne. SQ will happily welcome you, just be sure of yourself!

I'm flying in 4 weeks on TG F myself and wife with two kids 4and 2 in J. What's better lounge for the kids to play in ? I don't drink nor my wife .

I would like to go into the SQ F lounge but not sure if everyone can follow. Also what's the rule with family?

The NZ lounge has its own kids section that is closed off from the reset of the lounge. Its got tvs & toys in it.

I wanted to experience the SQ F lounge , but need to keep kids occupied I guess I wonder if I can go into the SQ F lounge for a bite and then meet the rest of the family in the airNZ LOUNGE.

For Syd and Mel, do all airlines with a F cabin have F service on these routes?

(CA, Asiana, SQ, Thai, UA?)

I guess that Thai and Asiana have the only realistically available/worthwhile redemption F service on offer to Australia?

(No availability on SQ-F, and UA-F and CA-F aren't worth the extra miles over SQ-J or UA-J.)

Finally - has anyone tried the Qatar F service to/from MEL? I realize it's not *A but UA M+ members can book it as part of a *A award ^

Yes you can. Personally, I rate the NZ C lounge higher than the SQ F lounge.

OZ has no F service to Australia and only offers its old J to Australia. TG is the only realistic F service but only flies F into SYD.

SQ is pretty rare and will be aircraft dependant. I've actually heard some decent things, mixed with bad, about the CA F product so it may be worth a look. UA F is questionable.
