It's the 340 slopey seats that does it for me. I understand the new seats are fully flat with good separation. I have paid 1,000 GBP more on occasion to take others with better seats (so hard product does influence revenue/profitability@:-))

Globaliser. Have confirmed the lounge consciously stays open until 11pm to "serve oneworld (read BA) customers". So if you are the kind who needs flight info on a screen in your lounge, this isn't for you but it is open late enough to service the BA flights.

I was very impressed with the QF lounge. I was less impressed by the family in the lounge that let their c. 10yo randomly yell "yes!! take that!!! blah blah blahh" every 5 seconds at their ipad game.
And since when has it been polite public behaviour to watch a film on a personal device without headphones?

If that doesn't work, the next point of call is the lounge staff, and that generally works a treat. (I am good at ignoring looks that contain daggers)

The QF lounge is better in my opinion. They are next to each other anyway so easy to change between the two assuming both are open.

AIUI, under oneworld rules a BA F ticket should be enough to get access to the QF lounge.

The Qantas Singapore Lounge is a joint F/J lounge, as is the British Airways Lounge.
Any oneworld F/J passenger can use any oneworld F/J lounge in the same terminal.

The food selection was a bit of a joke really, but the staff were bringing round plates of freshly prepared hot nibbles.
My suggestion is therefore to mix and match.
