I think LA & SIN are all long departed by late afternoon but either way go right to the spa once you come back to the lounge and put your name on the list.

I would be very curious if you do go in the AM how it works as far as leaving to go to CBD b/c I was there recently incoming on AA F and then onto AKL and I was told if I went through security and to the lounge that I cant leave as I would have go to through Border force security and it would cause a whole ordeal. I honeslty hadnt even though of that as I am so used to like LAX where you can come and go as you please.
My understanding is that with the F lounge being in the international part of the airport, once I'm committed to going, it's a one-way trip that involves passing immigration/customs out of Australia. My only possible next move leaving the lounge would be to board the QR flight.
