The flight from AKL to DBX stops at Brisbane and Singapore.
When flying in business class is there time to get off the plane and visit the lounges in Brisbane and Singapore?
Are you allowed to get off the plane and visit the lounges?
Is it worth getting off the plane and visiting the lounges? :)

Yes. In BNE you must deplane, go through transit security. There's enough time to visit the nice EK lounge (assuming you have access) or duty free shopping.

Just watch they don't lock you in the lounge like they did for me!

For SIN I think you can also deplane (IIRC it is BKK that doesnt let you deplane on EK), but the Skyview lounge isnt particularly special and is horribly overcrowded.

Argh, Kiwi Flyer you beat me to it. :p

Yes, it is BKK in which you must not deplane.

In SIN you can deplane. I would recommend a visit to the EK BNE lounge, but the transit time is not that long, and if you come in late from AKL, there definaely will not be enough time to visit the lounge.

Cheers

Yeah, I've always been baffled as to why pax can't stretch their legs in the airport in BKK as opposed to some other transit stops. Is it a Thai regulation or something?
