SINGAPORE/VIRGIN LOUNGE AGREEMENTS

As a result of our partnership deal with Singapore Airlines, agreements have been made to enable passengers traveling on both airlines to use each other's lounges.

Passengers will have a choice of which lounge they would like to use. No invitation is required, only a valid boarding card for travel that day - providing they fall into the following categories:

1. Lounge use for SQ passengers in VS Clubhouses

LHR, LGW, IAD, JNB, HKG, NRT

The Virgin Clubhouses listed above may be used by:

Any SQ passenger traveling in First or Business Class.
Passengers holding Solitaire, PPS Club or Krisflyer Elite Gold membership cards who are traveling in `Y' Class with SQ, `W' Class with VS and `Y' Class with VS.

EWR

The EWR Clubhouse may only be used by:SQ First Class passengers and Solitaire card holders. (Regardless of class of travel.)

...

RESTRICTIONS

No guests are permitted.
Arrangement does not apply to staff of either airline.
Operational hours of the lounges will not alter.
