EK Lounge Access SIN

[TweedleB]

Hello to Everyone,
My Wife and I are travelling from SIN to MEL with EK for the first time in business. The flight leaves at 10.40pm and we have to check out of the hotel around midday. We have a complimentary car picking us up and dropping us at the airport but I have not booked a time for this as yet. We were thinking we could store our luggage at the hotel and maybe do some sightseeing before arriving at the airport. My question is " How long before the flight can I access the lounge please? Thanks for any assistance and suggestions.
Regards,
TweedleB

I'm assuming you have luggage that needs to be checked in?

I'm not sure if EK participates in SATS premier check in but you should be able to check in early for your flight. Also there's an EK flight bound for BNE that departs around 3:00pm so you should be able to check-in at that time if want to check-in very early.

You can access the lounge any time, if it's open.
Their first departure of the evening is 9.10p.m., so I would expect check-in and the lounge to open around 5.30 to 6.00p.m.
The other thing to bear in mind is that the car can only be booked from a maximum of 5 hours before departure, though you may be able to change that when they call to confirm.
In you case I'd suggest booking the car for 5.40pm which should see you in the lounge not too long after opening.

Edit: just noticed Johnk's comment about the BNE departure.

Thanks JohnK, I do have luggage and it would be great to not have to cart it around too much. Appreciate you help.
