Lounge access at SIN

[Zorro]

I will be travelling SYD-SIN (QF) with stopover for few days and then SIN-HKG (CX) - all booked via QF. I am QC Life but NB and no One World status. Can I access the QP at SIN before flight to HKG?

Unfortunately, no. I had a similar situation about three years ago as part of a RTW booking. I was a Qantas Club member (no oneworld status) and was flying HKG-SIN with CX. The only way I was able to access the QF lounge was by using a Qantas Club complimentary pass.

I think the criteria is if you are on a Qantas marketed flight with a QF flight number (even if with a different carrier) you can use the lounge. However for whatever reason Cathay Pacific use CX flight number even when booked through qantas.

I don't understand why a pass would get you in but your membership wouldn't. Surely they have the same admission requirements?

The QC passes used to be 'anytime' but recently have had the QF/JQ flight outbound requirement.

I thought it was kind of strange, too. It was in February 2006.

QC membership does not provide OW lounge benefits. Access is granted only when you are flying on QF, BA or AA flights.

I sat outside while waiting for a CX flight as well. Then an OPup inspired a bit more effort being expended on flying :mrgreen:

Happy wandering
