I notice on C SW S picture of the booze there is Ron Zacapa which may sway us to go into the lounge next month on way to SYD, hubby is partial to a drink keep it well supplied at home, we have a 3 hour layover. The QF showers are really nice, and their offerings of toiletry items i feel is far better than BA

Just to update this thread with food, drink and other information.
I would agree with Henkybaby, that with the possible exception of the IAD set-up this is possibly the best BA out-station. IAD benefits from much better food arrangement, not least pre-flight dining, whereas the SIN flights aren't Sleeper flights and have more time than the USA East Coast services. In terms of staff approachability and work ethic, it would pretty much impossible to beat the lounge staff in Singapore, they are a huge credit to British Airways.
The Concorde Bar is an excellent watering hole, and it will be my port of call when passing through Singapore.

I'm in the lounge at the moment. If I had a criticism it would be that I don't like the reception "podium" concept. When I arrived another pax + family were complaining about their seat assignment. All I wanted to do was gain access to the lounge. There was only one staff member, busy processing this awkward passenger. I waited for 10 minutes to get access, desparate to get to the food/drink. The chicken pies/mini pizzas/satays are OK, but I'd rather be at T5. I think I prefer the food at IAH Flounge, just to rock the boat.

Lots of power points in the working area as well. I'm disappointed to lose the semi-private cubicles but I guess I can't have everything!
I want this one. It's a bit comical but I really like the dragon's expression.

Not much would stop you, but I think you would be found out fairly quickly, with just 1 to 3 flights to supervise. The staff pop round at regular intervals.

I know similar questions have been asked before (including by me), but given the specifics of this Concorde Bar, with a BA First flight from KUL later in the day, and a Malaysian flight from Singapore to get us there (separate tickets), what do you think the odds of being given the code are? (Would through checking bags strengthen that chance?). Cheers.

I think it depends on how busy they are and how soon your flight is. Now they are proud and a bit flexible. What I was told is that BA wants the access to be tightly monitored because it is introduced at outstations with already quite busy lounges. So I expect a very strict 'BA F class pax out of SIN only' policy to be honest...
Interesting question though. ^
Would you have access to the CCR at JFK when you fly BA J to LHR and then F to TLV for instance ?

Yes, this is correct. I did ask, and unless you are CCR where there may be some leeway, you would not get access, I am afraid.
