It's Mr., but I'm glad you're asking because a few people have put a space in, and in the wrong place!

That said, a bit of mystery is always fun.

I'll be in TPR this coming Monday (Feb 1) and can guest someone into the F lounge between about 06:00-10:00.

mrsmart, you must mean SIN TPR?

Am departing MEL 01:05 on Wed 3rd - so will be in MEL SKL F from ~22:00 on 02/02 and am happy to guest 1 or 2 if you are holding same day *A BP.

Will be in TPR in SIN from ~06:00 Feb 3 if anybody would like to access SIN SKF F - can guest 1 and again you will need to be holding same day *A BP for access.

I wish I was flying just so I could share in this love you are both exuding. Alas stuck in humid Sydney. ;(

Indeed, SIN TPR.

If it makes you feel any better, it's bitterly cold and wet in PVG and even HKG at the moment. I'm almost craving just a little bit of SIN humidity (am I nuts?)

I wish you were flying to prozac so we could sit and chat and enjoy a drink or 3 together.

 

[prozac]

Only 3?

I swear if I ever fly MH again (unlikely but I suppose you never say never) I will need to teach the dopey barmen in the MH J lounge bar how to make a whisky sour. Hadn't had one in years (they had no Single Malt) and the thought hit me, but barman had no idea.

TPR right now. Fresh out of Suites, showered and refreshed and currently intaking coffee, fresh juice and eggs benedict. Very happy.

On the coffee, however, I really wish they'd take it more seriously. It seems like such an afterthought. It's the one thing that makes coming home from a trip okay – the thought of tomorrow morning's flat white near work.

It actually rose to 9 degrees in HKG today

So you were handed your TPR Invitation at check in PVG?

Still not happening MEL - but I did receive it at lounge entry.

Yep. Didn't get it at check-in, but was handed it at the gate as I boarded.

In TPR now.
Don't you just love the tough decisions?
Should I shower before or AFTER my dinner?
Decisions decisions....

Speaking as an Asian background myself, I doubt many Asians know what good coffee actually means. Most of my friends living in Asia would say Starbucks is like the best coffee ever and all you should have are their americanos. They look at you weird if you order an espresso.

That's not entirely true! I have had some of the best coffee in Japan, Bangkok and Singapore – you just have to know where to look. But you're right in that it's not something that these markets prioritise en-masse – specialty coffee is still very niche in parts of Asia (but not all). It's changing though!

 

[Major]

We will be in SIN T3 J lounge about 7.30 am tomorrow

 

[OzEire]

I was in the MEL SK lounge on Thursday evening for the SQ208 departure. Wish I had found this thread before my trip.

The MEL SK lounge is nothing to write home about is it? Like a basic Qantas Club. I was a bit surprised.

I'm willing to pay for that inside information. And in my opinion, the best coffee at Changi is Costas - flat white with an extra shot.
Nearest I've found to a proper barista-made coffee in the last 3 weeks of travel.

I will be in the BNE SQ lounge on 16 April from 7.30 am onwards, am flying in J and also A* Gold
Then in Changi Lounge same day from 4pm onwards till 8pm flying J

Happy to guest someone

PS Thanks Cruiser elite for the prompt to post in this thread

I will remember that, thank you!

If you're in SIN, try Chye Seng Huat Hardware on Tyrwhitt Rd or Common Man on Martin Rd. Happy to give more recommendations if you like – where do you spend time?

 

[pgsdiver]

I'll be there for a week in September so will check out those two.
I'm staying on the river at Fraser suites so pretty central.
Thanks again for the recommendations.
