My first ever flight on Singapore coming up this Sunday from Heathrow, and I wondered if anyone could help with a couple of q's....

Do we know if the Sunday 6.30pm flt will be v busy?

I'm both Virgin and Star Gold - so I presume I'll check in at the Raffles class counter - but will I get a fast track pass as I would on Virgin? Does my baggage get priority? It's an Economy ticket

I presume we can use the Singapore lounges at LHR and SIN on arrival/transfer? We're stopping in Singapore for 2 days on the inbound.

Do you think I'll have a chance of asking for a decent seat, ie, on of those pairs at the back of the cabin, or an exit row? If I turn up really early? Ring tomorrow? Wear both my gold cards as earrings?

And, do you know if SIN have a departures lounge in Bali???

I know, so many questions - but I'm seriously looking forward to getting away, especially on this airline! (even in Economy)
