Lounge Question in SIN
I’m on EK349 from SIN-CMB that leaves (technically) Sunday, tomorrow at 1:55am. It’s 11:08am now Saturday.
Im assuming EK will allow people to access their own lounge around the 10pm mark, but would QF allow me to enter their lounge since technically I’m not flying till tomorrow?
Also not sure if it makes a difference but I got to SIN from BNE on EK433 that left at 2:35am today.

What flight number is written on your BP ? And which lounge is mentioned ?
AFAIK if it's EK flight no on this route then it's EK lounge.
However when Ive flown SIN/PER on EK flight no(QF metal) I've been sent to QF lounge.

Ive flown MEL-SIN on EK’s 6:40pm flight plenty of times, and was never turned away from QF or EK’s lounges.

It would be interesting to know your experience as to what happens today in SIN.

The Emirates lounge is open briefly now until 14:30, then opens again at 17:40, so I went inside. I was let in without a problem. The lounge personnel at the front told me that when they close, go over to the Qantas lounge. So I’m assuming this means I can access both, but I will report back when I try out the QF lounge. It may be I’m allowed access to QF only when the EK lounge is closed, although the lounge attendant made it sound like I had reciprocal access to both.

Eligible QF and EK Frequent Flyers (Gold and above in EK or QF) or premium cabin pax (J and F class) can use either lounges.
I myself (as a QF Platinum) have used the EK lounge in SIN when flying on QF coded flights on QF metal (in Y/PE/J/F).
Eligible EK pax can also use QF lounge (when flying EK or QF).
The only restrictions being that if using lounge based on status rather than class of travel, the flight must be credited to that FF account used to access the lounge based on status.

No, but you'd also probably struggle to ticket that, depending on how you're booking it. EK doesn't permit mixed cabin segments unless F isn't available on one sector
