As for EK lounge, there isn't much stuff (except for the free flow of Moet champagne) as compared to QF lounge, I think.

Same here, I will be boycotting SQ (except to redeem award tix via CC points) from now on due to the price factor and the lack of benefits for their own Krisflyer *G. I am a student after all and for SQ Y tix at $1.4k, I could have probably take QF Y at $700 rtw and return home again during Easter break (and clock up enough SC for Silver) :/

But again, I have my fair share of bad experiences with Qantas too. I recall an incident where I was left all alone in Heathrow with no help being rendered to me, a minor (was 16yo that time) during that snowstorm incident. I can't even check-in to a hotel since I was <18yo back then and I have got to 'fight' my way thru with the crowd to get my BP and stuff. I was stuck there for a good 2 days. After that incident.. I was compensated SGD$500 flight voucher but my telephone bill alone costs up to $800 plus :/

The plus point for SQ is mainly their tickets (can change date anytime) without any fees and their service. I was initially scheduled to fly off on the 15 Feb but I changed it to 10 Feb (lucky me and got upgraded ) but I have got pay $50 more being a 'local service fee'..

I am a NB in Qantas and will have got to wait from 6:30am till 11:30am for my next flight to Melbourne
