In January I flew MEL-SIN-MAN-IAH in Business. About 32 hours in the air, and as far as I could tell we had 32 hours of normal (excellent) service.

This goes in the I should know this but... file. I know the answer for TPR but not sure about J bookings.

I arrive in SIN at 13.05 connecting to BNE the next day at 9.55am. Will I get lounge access on arrival at SIN? I do have a hotel room booked for the night but wouldn't mind having lunch in the lounge as the brekkie menu is uninspiring. TIA

Not arrival access, but if your onward flight is with SQ you should have departure access. As far as SQ is concerned you are in transit between flights and entitled to lounge access.

Yes both flights with SQ on the one ticket

The arrival ticket is irrelevant except that it indicates you are in transit. Only the departure ticket is relevant. So your question is therefore whether you can access the lounge the day before.

Apologies for not phrasing the question correctly!!

As SQ Lounges in SIN are open 24hrs (except for TPR), I think you can. Also SQ is silent on limiting lounge access to day of travel only

You should have lounge access the day before. Just tell them that you're in transit and they can see that from your itinerary.

Oh FFS - ILTT just front up with both BPs and you will be good to go whatever time btw arr and dep

But whatever - the minute they scan your dep BP it will show you full itinerary so it’s a non issue and you will be immediately ushered in

All these experts in this thread and lo and behold Johnny K only 1 on the pulse - go figure

Not sure I have seen this on AFF or elsewhere but I have it on very good authority that SQ are about to refit their 350 ULR version with some F seating as part of a refresh from Q2-26. So maybe some more opportunities to burn points on the longest flights SQ operates.

Need to pay more attention. Had not seen it on this thread.

New checkin procedures in SYD for R & F pax - there is now a dedicated First Class Checkin area - rather than at A Counters as previous it is now situated far end of B Counters so just walk to the back and you should find it.

Been in operation 2 weeks I am told - hadn’t seen it posted so here it is.

Not solely for SQ as EK will also share the area and cost I assume

And for those who spruik the views from SYD SKL F rather than the ‘dungeon’ at MEL well here are those wonderful views they speak of:



Just check out the consistency of the corrugations of the roofing steel - you could sit and admire that for hours on end could you not?

At least there is daylight. I simply don’t use the SKL in MEL - I have priority pass so I use that. If/when I give up my expensive credit yr card that brings PP then I may investigate the NZ lounge.
