Change to SIN SKL F lounge access [SQ F inbound = SIN SKL F access]

[Albatross710]

There appears to have been a change to the F Lounge access policy at SIN T3.

I had arrived off a F redemption SQ833 from PVG to SIN. I was connecting to J to BNE. My boarding pass was printed in PVG with an invitation to the SIN First lounge.

I thought a traveller had to be departing in F to get F lounge. They didn't let me in TPR though I did ask.

The change that interests me is that I was an pax whom had arrived on F and departing on J and yet I had F Lounge access. Previously I had been directed to the SilverKris lounge. (actually when I showed by J Boarding pass at the entrance to the lounge I didn't even notice the reference to First Lounge. It was the receptionist at SilverKris whom brought it to my attention and escorted me to the F Lounge.

So, is it a policy change or just luck?

Seems to have become more and more of an unwritten policy. I'm more interested if you can guest someone else in on this... (I think not)

Kiasu.

You sure you're not Singaporean?

Only because I know there's a very gentle soul at the other end of my stick.

BTW, I think that should've been 'Them's fightin' words'. The Western colloquialism doesn't really mesh well with ebonics.

Didn't want to sound Mancunian!

It's not unwritten, it's been official policy for months now. Anyone who arrives in SQ F and is travelling onwards in J on SQ (or MI) gets access to the F lounge.

It's written as official policy where? Or do you mean on the BP...

I have no idea were it's written, but it's a fact. The white ladies told me a while ago while I was chatting with them. I thought I'd mentioned it on here actually but it appears not.

Some will get it printed on the BP, others won't. Either way if you are inbound in F and outbound on SQ or MI you have F lounge access.

I like the change. I think F pax should always get arrivals lounge facilities (even if they separate the toilet from the shower ).

Great, even more people in the lounge. Thankful that TPR is still safe....for now

Just a further confirmation of this new policy as I used it myself again a couple of weeks ago. Inbound in Suites from LHR, outbound in J to SGN, and I got access to TPR.

You do have to smile at how this is undoubtedly a (real) enhancement of the SQ flying experience, yet they don't announce the new policy.

I think its simply best to be quiet and enjoy it. the alternative would be that it be taken away.

First time in TPR. Been here since 9.30pm and I'm not alone. Seems rather busy now, with at least 5 tables occupied in the dining area and some in the seating area...

Is this place always crowded at this time of the night?

OK, I won't tell anyone then.

It's busy (I wouldn't go as far as saying crowded) for the morning and night time banks of flights then quiet for the rest of the day.
