I have only been informed that no boarding calls will be made for my TG flight and that I might therefore wish to use the NZ Koru Club.

Food selection in the SQ F section is smaller, but better and more Asian than in the Koru Club. Also there is Heidsieck Chanpagne, JW gold and you share the company of the ultra rich Chinese SQ R passengers

.

Just one strange thing subsists: Why TG stamps their boarding passes with the NZ lounge logo

. Intimidated

? By whom ?

SQ has been playing by the rules since 2003 or so. Sometimes when the lounge gets full they become difficult but more often than not I didn't have a problem.
