WP Lounge guest access - “same day”??
From QF WP “Tier benefits”
Guest access
- When travelling on a flight with a Qantas (QF) or oneworld flight number on your ticket Qantas International Lounge access is also provided to one guest and up to two children (aged 4-17 years)35 who are travelling with you either on the same flight or on a flight that day operated by a oneworld airline with that airline's flight number on their ticket .
My question is, at SIN QF lounge, if I am trying to guest my friend who is flying AY shortly before midnight and I am flying CX shortly after midnight, are they going to cynically deny that because we are flying on “different days”?
And separate issue, if I arrive before him, what do I do? Let them know in advance or just meet him at the front when he arrives?

Sorry - coming to this a bit late as you have already reported back. For future reference, 'same day' means same 'airline day' which is at least until 2am-3am (not midnight). This covers, for example, someone turning up at 10pm for a flight at 0100 the next morning, they of course have lounge access and doen't have to wait until midnight before they can get in.

(have posted this elsewhere):
To summarise:
- Had Electronic BP for CX flight (T4)
- tried to enter through immigration at T2
- Was told they couldn't scan electronic BP so go to T1
- Was told at T1 that I couldn't access because terminals were not connected (though they essentially are by airside bus between T2 and T4)
- Went back to T4 and went through immigration
- Got bus back to T2, no issues, just had to explain what I was doing and got a sticker (and had plenty of time so they weren't worried I'd miss flight)
- later got bus back to T4
Kind of ridiculous to be told you can't possible go into this area (T1/2/3), and then later to be walking through that very same area!
