Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer - Use of Virgin Arrival Lounge in LHR: After SQ 322
Hi Guys,
I am arriving London on the 18th Morning at 5:50 am on SQ.
I was wondering if we are allowed into the Virgin Upper Class ARRIVALS lounge in London T3.
I am SQ Solitaire and flying J. Never taken the over night into LHR, but i remember reading somewhere it was possible.
Please let me know.
Thank you guys!

As a Solitaire, yes, you can! See here (http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_UK/content/krisflyer/aboutpps/solitaire_life.jsp?v=325607060&):

Yes, the Revival Lounge is very useful when arriving very early morning from SIN prior to heading to the city. Here are the old photos from the lounge found in other websit (http://www.sqtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3372)e.

Yes for Solitaire and/or First/Suites but ONLY from SQ322.
After you exit Immigration, just continue straight to the end of the Building and there will be a bank of elevators to your right. It's a great lounge supervised by Gita who is a truly warm person and the best in the business. Introduce yourself to her and you will find that nothing is too much trouble. SQ322 is the first flight in with any access rights to the Revivals lounge (VS flights from HKG and then the US start arriving later), in fact it is THE first flight into LHR after it opens, so Revivals will be empty when you enter. Great to get a shower straight away before the queues start, get your suit pressed if necessary whilst you are taking a shower then a massage if you so wish. Then, the freshly cooked English breakfast is again the best around. After that, you'll be ready to get into a full day ahead. This was my favourite flight and routine for doing business in London.
The only little peeve for SQ types, on leaving the lounge, all the drivers will be lined up waiting to take bags and provide the free limo transfers for all the Virgin Passengers!
Enjoy.

No, to be pedantic. VS201 from HKG and SYD is the first flight to arrive in T3 and always has been (I've done this flight several times). In winter it is scheduled to arrive at 04:50, one hour before SQ322. In summer it is scheduled to arrive half an hour before SQ322.

OK pedant, you may very well be correct. BUT, I have always been alone in Revivals from SQ322. This suggests that, EITHER VS201 is always late, OR PAX from VS201 prefer to get straight into their nice VS free Limos and get either home or to the Hotel?

No need to call me a pedant is there? I already said I was being pedantic.
The OP asked a simple question and I was merely stating the correct facts to your incorrect facts. That's all. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted.
And yes, I am correct.

Sorry to be pedantic but, actually, your response had no relevance to the OP, which you may read above. My post responded directly to the OP with, perhaps, an unintentional but well intentioned (And for all pracatical intents and purposes irrelevant) error. The OP asked simply regarding the rules for the use of the Lounge, to which I, and several others, responded. I added a little more information as a frequent user of Revivals, in the hope of being more helpful. Sigh........................ Yes , you are correct. Bye now.
Thanks guys - the Breakfast on the flight was fantastic, the lounge was even better. On the Flight back i wrote to SQ stating they should try for an arrivals lounge in Singapore, taking trick or two from Branson's Airline which they partially own (regarding lounges as their new J product is much better)
Lets see what they reply!
