As long as it is not QF31 going through, as I recently found that the F Lounge doesn't open until an hour after this flight departs SIN...

Now that QF31 departs SYD at ~5pm and SIN at ~Midnight, I believe you will find the First Lounge will be open in SIN.Reggie said:DPG said:NM said:You will also get access to the First Class lounge at SIN.

It is QF31, I fly in on QF71 from Perth and have just over 2 hours. Oh well no First Class Lounge. I enjoyed those facilities last year when returning from a trip to Singapore.

Actually, none of the air that enters the cabin through the air conditioning system is "recycled". It is outside air that is compressed and then cooled and fed into the cabin. The outlet from the cabin is vented outside.Anna said:I am still stuck in a metal tube breathing recycled air..

So the concern of breathing recycled air is a busted myth. The risk of catching something from fellow passengers is no more than it would be if you were sharing an air-conditioned room with the same people. In fact, in many aspects the risk is less due to the volume of air that flows in and out of the cabin and the fact that no vented air is recycled.

Just thought I would correct NM here. The cabin air is about 50% recycled, mainly in order to save fuel. It is passed through filters, so viral transmission through the recycled air is unlikely.

Welcome to AFF Vick. I have done a little more research into this matter and dug up some interesting facts. My original comment is out of date and based on very old (and inefficient) systems found on aircraft like the DC9. Modern aircraft do indeed use some proportion of recycled air in the cabin.vick said:Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker on this board, and I am QF platinum.
