Sydney Thai F Lounge access to SQ F ?
Has anyone been allowed into the new SQ Kris first lounge in Sydney on departure yet?
Historically J and F passengers are asked at checkin to use the AirNZ lounge, which is great. But was wondering if you hold a F boarding pass with Thai can you use the Sing FC Sydney lounge??
In theory star alliance rules say it's ok right?

Yes, they will let you in - be prepared for some fight, though... You might have the rules printed from e.g. http://www.starallianceemployees.com/home.html to show them...

Looks like a nice lounge, and it appears that United First Class passengers have gained access without too much trouble, so hopefully the same for TG F.

Not very intuitive, huh - rules are located under 'Airport'

And, you could also go here:http://www.staralliance.com/en/benef...lounge-finder/ enter your flight/class information, and it will display the lounges you have access to in SYD, which include the Singapore Lounges, and print that.

thanks all!
and there are also exceptions!
"Except: LH HON/First Class Lounges in FRA/MUC; LX HON/First Class Lounges in ZRH/GVA; OS HON/First Class Lounges in VIE; TG Spa Lounge in BKK"
...and probably more; would be surprised if SQ opened their F lounges to all other *A F passengers everywhere...

There is a more general exception - which is 'capacity restraints' - but the SQ lounge is pretty empty at the time of the TG departure (assuming you're going to be there less than 2 hours before departure).

Even the hallowed halls of SIN SKL F section is open to any Star F passenger leaving from SIN. Same for LHR SKL etc - all freely accessible to Star F pax.

How long can I spend at the new SQ lounge without getting bored & or eating & drinking every thing of the menu ?
I have spent 6 hours at the TG F Class at BKK lounge having a 90mins massage & a bath & eating & drinking to my hearts content.
But at LHR an hour is enough at the SQ F lounge.
BTW have far is the SQ lounge from the gates THAI use ?
