Food is better in QF lounge but I've preferred BA for everything else lately - mainly for proper seating as QF gets real crowded time to time

Sad to see that they can’t cope with the crowd, as they laid the lounge out for before the move to SIN. It used to be relatively quiet there before the A380s came back

Ex-SIN? Not much reason to use lounges anyway, just leave home late. For me, home door -> past immigration took 55 mins on the MRT or 25 mins with a taxi, very well planable.

Personally, I would trade qantas lounge food for hawker centre food any day!
*NOTE* this is given the very likeliness that the QF lounge is full. Additionally the BA lounge has got some nice showers as well.

+1 with clubeurope except that jmj9905 will be leaving from T4, so it's the CX lounge, but otherwise solid plan, except 2 hrs IMO is WAY too much to arrive at Changi - with automated border control and security at the gate only, one can be from curb to lounge in under 10 minutes. Add some more for checkin counter if needed - as OP ponders the lounge situation, he probably has access to priority checkin, too. I'd say the a cab from downtown 2 hrs before the fight.

and yes 2 hours is a bit of a stretch (I tend to be too much on the safe side sometimes
), just arrive at least an hour or 1.5 hours if one were to check luggage.

Thanks all. Our flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. so we have to be at the airport at10:00a.m. So having lunch in sin is not really an option. From what I have read food service on CX regional flights is not all that good. So I was looking for an alternative to eat in the lounge before departure.
