Connecting From QF to BA in SIN...Can I Check In for BA at MEL??
I'll be flying from MEL-SIN in November on QF and will be connecting to BA flight 16 to LHR with 1 hour 10 minutes of connection time. Will I be able to get a boarding pass for my BA flight in MEL as well?
For anybody who has done this before...how long does it take to get off the plane in SIN and get to the BA gates?? I'll be travelling in F.
Any info is appreciated.

Class of travel does not make any difference to the distance

Sorry I asked a simple question. I put the fact that I was in F in there because although it may not reduce the actual distance between gates, it (in some cases) does possibly reduce the time to connect. Thus, that tidbit was included. No, I wasn't just throwing it in as a bit of elitism.

No doubt connecting passengers will be looked after and clearly directed to the appropriate gate. Being in F does make the connecting distance less than if travelling in WHY - about 50 rows of seats less if Door 1L is used. Maybe 10 minutes less time as well.

With a 70 minute connection, my plan would be a brisk walk to the QF/BA F lounge. Take a shower. Visit the DF shops to stock up on the whiskey collection. Back to the lounge to avail myself of the nice lavatory facilities. Then back to the departure gate.

Thanks NM. So needless to say after that post...the connection in SIN should be a breeze.
