[Update - Confirmed] The Private Room on Redemption: entry policy relaxed

[StarG]

Yes you can, and no you won't need an invitation card at check-in.
Just go to TPR entrance (if you don't get escorted there by the lounge lady) and show your F boarding pass for entry.

If I check in at T2 with a first class ticket to Manila, can I use TPR at T3? Do I need to get the TPR invitation card at T2 check in?

[StarG]

You have access with both rules.

[frwstar2]

Yes, you do have access

Thanks for this fast answer . I've a second question. I've acces with both rule? The old one and the new one or only with new one?

[Kyo]

Yes, you do have access

Hello,

I'm new and my english is so-so.

So my question is very simple. I've booked a Star Alliance Round The World first class ticket (FRWSTAR2). Twice I've a connection at Changi with SQ. Did you now if I'm able to have access to The Private Room with my ticket? My booking class is A.

How do you guys eat so much on the ground and continue on plane!

That's a fair point, and an issue for sure at times!. I used to find myself having three attempts at breakfast ; one on the long haul inbound flight, something in lounge and then they serve breakfast on the early departing connecting flight... .

However, in my defence on this occassion, I had missed lunch (again), forgot to BTC so expected the usual plethora of seafood choices in F, soup is not much and I don't know if you've seen the burgers from TPR but they are tiny!.

As it happens I am glad I had something as I ordered the Claypot Rice for my main on board and it was awful.

With the greatest of ease! Although my doctor would not be that happy...

Well they are still allowing folk on redemptions in I am pleased to say. Even with the open door to redemption scum (as some of them clearly see (or at least saw) it... ) there was only two others in there.

I got a gold TPR invitation at check-in but decided to pocket that and see if I could waltz in with the red BP. They collared me at the entrance to the SKL, and went over to the computer with my BP. a minute later she said 'You are invitied to TPR...' and escorted me in.

I had tomato soup and the burger, minus the Foie Gras, which I can't stand. I ordered and shot off to get changed, returning ten minutes later. Another 10-15 minutes later and still no sign of the soup so I chased it and it arrived a few minutes later. Both were very nice.

The delay had left me in a bit of a rush to the gate, especially as the white lady who escorted me in was adamant I should leave earlier than I thought I should. But did mean as I came down the escalators I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen since the inaugural A330 flight. Great to see you, Sir !. Enjoy Saudi, if you can. As I said, I'd make use of the causeway.

I do think it's a shame they've got those shades on the outside of the window as it spoils what would otherwise be a nice (and welcome, for an SKL...) tarmac view.

So is it confirmed now that Private Room is open for redemption F tickets as well? I wonder if they will still differentiate between F saver redemption and F standard redemption. Have just booked F saver ticket.

Yes, it is confirmed. See Post 29 of this very thread.

[feb01mel]

Yes, as long as you have a F class ticket, they will let you in.

Today, they sort of forgot at the First Class drive-through check-in... but with the subtlest of prompting, they quickly wrote out the invitation.

Anyway - today's menu...



Hope to get through it by tomorrow.

No more chicken rice? But I like their mini-burgers

PS Let us know whether row 1 or 2 better on 77W. Need to choose my seat. soon..

That will depend if you prefer more legroom ( when sitting ) and more headroom when sleeping. 1 for the former and 2 for the latter.
