SIN check in for QC and OW-Saphire

[Chucksta]

What's the lastest on check in at SIN for QC members and QFF Gold?

The last time I was there a year ago there was no real dedicated line. Everyone just queued up and they don't check if you are QC or QFF Gold.

Also, can anyone confirm if early check in for QF flights is available in economy in SIN? I know the website says up to 24 hours before flight, but has anyone used this service?

You can early checkin no problems, have done it myself many a time.

I think the latest check-in time would be 60 minutes but 90 minutes would be preferrable.

Singapore Airport manages an early check-in facilitiy to which Qantas works with. Details are here. It's available at different counters at different times.

At Changi it's 45 mins, so 60 minutes would be fine (for those comfortable with that sort of thing) in my experience, as Changi is extremely efficient.

Details from QF Website:

Check-in opens 6 hours before departure until 45 mins prior to each flight departure.
Economy check-in for Qantas flights is available at row 6.
Check-in for First, Business, Chairmans Lounge, and oneworld Emerald passengers is available at Singapore Airport Terminal Services Premier Check-in at the end of row 4.
Check-in for Qantas Club passengers is at row 5.
Early check-in is also available from 1000 to 1400 at Row 4 and 1400 to 1700 at Row 5.

Early Check-In opens at around 1030 - Row 4 (I think ...) - I last used this service in July. I don't think things have changed since then ..

Early check-in opens at 10am at row 4. This moves to row 5 at 2pm. At 5pm, early check-in "finishes" in the sense that normal check-in counters open at rows 5 and 6.

Or, in a nutshell, from 10am onwards, just go to the area near row 5, and have a look around. (Rows 4 and 5 face each other).

And, for the record, I have attempted to check-in 23 hours (at 9pm the night before) prior to flight departure, and they (probably rightly) refused to do so. Just as well though, I was moved to a different flight in the morning.

Qantas used to allow you to check-in luggage the day before, but not any more it appears:

Early Check-in - Changi Airport

Yes... as my experience has shown, it got "enhanced".
