Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

[eminere]

I've had the offer of an escort from the plane to the lounge and back to the plane at boarding time every time I've been through SIN as a P1 in F. The one time in recent months when I stayed overnight in SIN I also had the offer of an escort from the F check-in to the lounge.

Prior to that, as a WP in F I never had an escort once over dozens of transits.

Flew twice in F from Sin to Australia in the last 4 months, both times everyone in F was escorted from the lounge to the gate and the second time we were escorted onto the plane because we asked to board first.

Wonder if it is a newer thing that they are being more conscious of.

I've had a lounge host meet me onboard and escort me through immigration, baggage and into a taxi. Have also had an escort from the lounge when flying EK (until handed over to an EK staff member). Not 100% of the time though, even when flying F, but more consistent than SYD for example (not surprisingly).

In lounge yes offered off-menu wine and whiskey. No problem customising items off the food menu as well (though I suspect they'd do this for any pax within reason).

Interesting to read all these examples. I've never had an escort any of the dozen times or so I've flown F ex-SIN on both QF and EK as a QF Plat.

I don’t believe it’s a Plat thing.
Need to be P1.
At least that’s my experience with the escort.

I’ve seen some Plats in F and also a CL that wasn’t P1 get the escort. It seems to vary by flight - some occasions I get it and others I don’t.

I would’ve thought that the cabin of travel here mattered more than the passenger’s FF status. Unless QF’s policy is to only offer it to passengers who are both P1 (or CL) and travelling in First.

That’s been my experience P1 flying QF F. Have not been offered it flying In J even when that was the highest cabin.
