Oh that’s so kind - we arrived at C19, more or less on time. I only just logged in now and already in the city!

Looks like you guys had lots of fun!

Reading this sounds like "The Amazing Race", would love to have seen you all in action!
A lounge crawl is now on my bucket list- enjoy and happy travels all

Having done a couple of these I can confirm it is a great experience.
A series of events conspired to prevent me from attending this year, but am hopeful for next year.

After leaving the QR lounge, @Sprucegoose and I are in our final lounge - the SATS Premier Lounge in T2.

Back in MH Golden lounge in KLIA satellite.

Thanks to @JessicaTam for organising and all others for the enjoyable time yesterday. For next year any organizers have big shoes to fill.

@Mattg , the autogates worked brilliantly, not that there were any queues at 6am but total time was about 3 seconds to pass the two gates.

Any chance of a summary of the comparative amenity of the various lounges? Which were the better/best one(s) (all things considered)?

Thanks for letting us know about the auto gates

And thanks also to @JessicaTam for another amazing event and also for convincing the BA front desk to allow us a quick tour of the concord lounge.

It was indeed a great afternoon/evening. The HH residents got to their rooms about midnight and a couple of night caps might have been had.

Thank you for those who came along to join in the fun. It isn't a lounge crawl without crawlers.

IMHO the order of lounges would be:

1. QR
2. QF F
3. CCR
4. BA
5. MH J
6. QF J
7. MH F
8. MH Regional

Others will have to chime in where EK fits in.

I look forward to seeing what adventures unfold next year.

I’d like to echo my thanks to @JessicaTam for organising a great weekend!

Here are a few more photos from yesterday.

Jess in the BA lounge Concorde Room:




And the QR lounge:





I thought the QF F lounge and QR lounge were both brilliant, with excellent dining options and attentive service. I personally can't really split them but the group consensus was that QR was slightly better.

Finally, how good is Changi Airport?! This photo is not even of a lounge - it’s just a public garden in the middle of terminal 2...

@JessicaTam you missed the SATS lounge in Changi T2 Most of the MH610 crew popped in there before boarding.

If it was on the list though, it would be at number 9.

 

[Sprucegoose]

Nice meeting you @serfty ! I'll need to rock up a little earlier next time

You and me both ! Good meeting you Sudeor.

Not officially part of the SIN crawl but I feel there were enough of us still in attendance to justify putting the Hilton KUL EL at #10 also

Thanks all, was a great time!!

I thought the QF F lounge and QR lounge were both brilliant, with excellent dining options and attentive service. I personally can't really split them but the group consensus was that QR was slightly better.

Certainly, the dining options are quite good in the Qantas First lounge.

However, I would suggest that the experiences in the QF F may not be so attentive if you are not P1/CL/First Class/Media (or at least in the company of such).

That is based on a direct comparison with taking the same flight two days earlier as a QF WP in MH J.

With that QR wins for this WP - and it is not even close.
