[Cancelled] SIN lounge crawl 7 June 2020

[JessicaTam]

@JessicaTam will “resemble this remarke” but

and to quote said person above “what could go wrong”.

@Citoyen welcome to the crawl.

In the interest of accurate reporting it was actually "What could possibly go wrong"!

 

[Matt_01]

@JessicaTam, I stand corrected.

 

[mrsterryn]

So if I want to come I just need to be on a Oneworld flight prior to the time of events ?

Yes.

 

[mrsterryn]

And then on a flight leaving late 7th June ?

Any flight to get to SIN, and then a OneWorld flight after the events to be able to access the lounges. Say 8pm onwards.

 

[mrsterryn]

So QF 81 6th June over and QF82 back 7th June ?
Thanks for the patience

That should get you into SIN just in time for dinner!

 

[mrsterryn]

Ok appears i am gold (fairly likely to attend ?)
Sadly I shall be in economy as have spent all my points (until May )
However I shall have my good old trusty fat /comfort seat
So shall check with Qantas tomorrow about booking

 

[Citoyen]

Thanks to everyone for the kind welcome (despite my no -contribution for a decade)

You will be more than welcome. What QF (or other OW carrier) status do you have? For guesting pairings if necessary.

Seems to me like everyone has plenty of status but I have:
For this crawl OWE (BAEC Gold), QFF LTG, Priority Pass, for the record VA Platinum etc

I shall be travelling alone and happy to have guests. Is the Qatar lounge to be like in DOH where the OWE offering is not the same as the QR F offering?

 

[Tropic]

Geeze love to be there but depends on if I can get this BA J PER BKK fare bedded down and whether I end up doing another AY RTW...but could do both if I shift the RTW to Jul/Aug. Think I need a TA but any advice gratefully accepted.

 

[cwd]

Just realised this would make a great SC run for the start of my year. Will depend on whether I can get some cheap (probably MH) J flights from HKG to make a weekend of it. $7/SC isn't terrible, but hopefully something better will come up. Anyone else coming from HKG?

Oh whoops, I just realised the (bit of a) status run I booked with the AY HKG-LHR fare has me in London when this lounge crawl is on. Next time!

The new lounge is likely to be 'QR rules'! I.e. you might have to be in J to get in, as opposed to being OWE. But it is still being built so will have to wait and see.

 

[LinaLee]

Welcome aboard. Yes, we stay late - in fact this year later than expected there were a few who left after QF38 departed --- on QF36 ...

I’m on QF38 . Fingers crossed all going well...and I can keep travelling

 

[Mattg]

I've been lurking too long, count me in!

I'm assuming you good folk continue quite late into the evening . ( I'm thinking of QF departures like QF 1 and QF 38 - I may head to KUL)

I'm still finalising my plans, but I may also fly on MH to KUL in the late evening after the lounge crawl.

 

[Fifa]

I'm considering QF J flights to/from DPS then a bit of an MH mileage run in Asia so I may also fly SIN-KUL after the crawl.
I really must do a little more research and cross my fingers for a DSC promo!

I think most are expecting it to be a single lounge but like BKK (only J gains access, think they give elites the Miracle lounge like QF, but you can also use CX).

However from the airport maps it looks like it might be about the same size as the EK loungez so maybe it might have looser policies.

 

[Mattg]

I'm now Platinum for this.

I had a slight change of plans and am now booked on QF52.
