CCR card no good in Singapore?

Not as silly as denying a fare paying First Class passenger access to First Dining because an economy passenger (who happens to have a CCR card) and their guest got there first.

I would be a bit miffed if the place was packed out by CCR card holders who are not in F and I cannot find a table when flying F (speaking as a CCR card holder here).

I certainly have been admitted to the Singapore Concorde Bar based on my Concorde card (flying J), last January. However, I don't think you miss too much if you don't get in. It's very dark and the food options are actually identical to the lounge. So the only difference is the premium spirits ... in a trade off with the dark atmosphere ...

were F passengers being denied access on that basis? I don’t remember seeing any posts about it on here before?

I am hoping this little issue has been resolved, on my last few visits the temperature has been fine. The thermostat appears set at a much more comfortable level.

When I flew through SIN recently the QF Lounge had a queue extending almost to the door to the BA lounge. The BA lounge was virtually empty. As I was only after a shower that suited me fine.

As regards SIN, I've seen the Concorde section quite busy and as LTN Phobia points out, it is entirely possible that the whole area might be needed by F passengers. I have seen F passengers being told they would have to wait for the (much lamented) F dining at PHL because no tables were available, so I think it's perfectly reasonable to suppose that some of these locations couldn't accommodate F passengers if any significant number of CCR holders and their guests were let in.

EDIT: just to add when it comes to the SIN CCB, which doesn’t have good reviews on FT, it very much seems to be Schrodingers lounge if you believe everything on here, simultaneously too poor to be worth going to yet too busy to get in to if ones tries!

Apparently there are gangs (an importance) of GGLs regularly appearing at LHR, TLL, HEL, OTP, PHX and HNL
