Family VA Platinum + HSBC credit card lounge access

[dontwanttoregister]

Hello all!

I am a VA Platinum, travelling with family (total 2 adults + 12yo + 10yo) to Europe on SQ via Singapore with ~24hr stopovers (both directions).

I understand I'm entitled to only one guest in the lounge, regardless of whether they are adult or child. Anything more is subject to the whims of the staff, and I don't want to take that risk if I can find a workaround.

Wondering if its worth one of the adults signing up for the HSBC Star Alliance card for SQ Gold to ensure we all get access to the lounge.

However all flights will be linked to and credit VA Velocity. Can you access the lounge as a SQ Gold, with a guest, even if the BP doesn't have the SQ Gold linked?

Thanks!

Hi, any suggestions?

TLDR: Can I access SQ lounge using Krisflyer Gold status with VA Velocity on the ticket?

Yes you can just show them the Krisflyer gold card from your app and you should be fine.
