My best is 12 hrs in the lounge and overnight in Melb airport when u could sleep under STEPS!

Wasn't a AFF member by any chance? Anyone fessing up?

I am amazed that anyone would actually like pending that amount of time at an airport.... but I guess the people watching would be good

I'm guessing he didn't have much in spare clothes so the BO could have been overwhelming. Unless he helped himself to duty-free store cologne and all.

I guess if you are going to be at an airport for 18 days, there are not many better than Changi.

Forged boarding passes for 3 week lounge binge

How long is too long to spend in airport lounges? This man recently spent 3 weeks in Singapore airport using forged boarding passes to get into the lounge. You have to admire his stamina.
I have heard of this technology being used on the quiet. People have said it is relatively easy to do and haven't been caught yet.:evil: Will we see a new level of "lounge Security" for access? Biometric scanners, Fingerprint, DNA, passport checks. With all the "enhancements" to make our OneWorld life easier, it may become a bit more time consuming to get into partner lounges if they require more checks.

Already posted as above and QANTAS are just about bringing out the cough prob for Admirals access!

Couldn't be done at most lounges - as he was using third party lounges who only really check for the valid Priority Pass credentials (afterall this is how they get paid) and really only do a cursory look at BP.
As distinct from most alliance lounges where the BP itself is scanned.

I would prefer to be in flounge rather than the Priority Pass lounge in SIN
