    Qatar Airways Lounge in Singapore T1

    Was on BA 15 a few weeks ago and had no problems accessing. Lounge was very quiet. Had a quick shower and Singapore Sling before making the long trek back to the gate.

    Arrived at LHR three times last month. On all occasions aircraft door to kerbside in 35 mins…. ( Both bags and immigration) T3 & T5. BA 15 at Syd, first plane to arrive so no other aircraft to unload. Immigration fast but luggage took 45 mins before they started to arrive.

    SYD Meetup - Wednesday 20th November 2024 @ Long Chim

    Neither marickville or Newtown are near the CBD ( which I presume is more central to everyone )? Chat Thai Haymarket or Pitt St ? ( but closes at 9.30 pm on Weds.) Otherwise Long Chin is my vote.

    VER’s yellow flag infringement was for overtaking on the cool down lap. He overtook NOR and gave him the congratulatory thumbs up. Called to the stewards, he was reprimanded

    I don’t think this result will change the order. PIA is still 33 points behind NOR….. but a similar finish will in SIN might change things.

    I think the fact that since the Williams family sold out to venture capitalists, Aston Martin is the only team whose owner is directly involved with the team. He saw this as a positive.
