thank you for the review of the 2 lounges. But for the one I am quoting here (your 2nd review), this is exactly the same lounge as the GIG one I have reviewed here
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27895724-post354.html
I even wondered if you did not confuse between pictures you may have taken in both lounges, in case you visited also the GIG one :D

Ahah they do seem pretty similar – and G3's international lounge at T2 at GRU is supposed to look alike too. I guess they had the same architects do all their new lounges :)

Coming from DPS I was waited by Jetquay staff which propose me to choose between Jetquay lounge Landside or QF Lounge Airside, lazy I choose the last!

It was a bit disapointing, only three australians white "wines" (one sparkling).
Rather cold, nice toilets, showers less than good (cold, poor amenities...)

Very, very friendly workers; they travel in the lounge with some carts (beverages, french fries, ice cream, cocktails): thats the positive.

Thanks for reporting. It's good to have the choice, but frankly, going landside to the Jetquay lounge is no hassle with the private immigration counter. Just the SG immigration form to fill and 2 stamps in your passport and that's it. Because now in the Jetquay lounge you have an AF attendant taking care of you and you have real Champagne and special canapés prepared for AF pax.

Too lazy (my immigration on the CDG SIN flight was not so smooth ! maybe 15 minuts with a lot of "shunters") and reed bad things about Jetquay and good about QF lounge. Now I have my opinion and will remember Internet is not the Bible !:eek:

I enjoyed the QF lounge. OK, it's not the private/dedicated F lounge but I thought the staff in there were brilliant and the cocktail trolley was just perfect. Although they don't call pax that's not a problem when AF staff come to take you to the gate.

I agree thus I didn't taste the cocktails as I was with my full Tiger pint!
About calls also (I tried to report the lounge ;-))

I had a trip from GRU Terminal 2 in April 2017, operated by Delta, credited on my Flying Blue Gold card. I have been explained that this isn't a Skyteam lounge, as such I may pay 55 US$ to enter but not invite any guest.

I wish GOL would enter Skyteam :D
