Lounge Access in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur International
Hi,
Good day to Everyone! 2 questions:
1. I have a Malaysia Airline economy ticket from SIN to KUL and Japan Airline J ticket from KUL to NRT (both on the same day). I am likely to be issued with the Japan Airline J ticket in Singapore. Am I able to access the Qantas lounge in Singapore Changi Terminal 1? I have read through the conditions (First and Business Class customers connecting on the same day of travel, or before 6am the following day, can access the lounge when travelling between an international long haul (a oneworld international long haul flight is defined as an international flight marketed and operated by any oneworld carrier with a scheduled flight time longer than 5 hours) and an international short haul or domestic flight (and vice-versa).) for access and some said yes, some said no. Wondering if anyone tried it? Thank you.
2. At Kuala Lumpur Airport with the Japan Airline J ticket, I understand that I could access lounge like (1)Plaza Premium First (note this is not Plaza Premium), (2) Golden Lounge, (3) Cathay Pacific. I was planning to visit (1) and then (2). But I heard that Plaza Premium First would stamp on your ticket and Golden Lounge may refuse entry since I have already accessed Plaza Premium First.
Have anyone tried going to 2 lounge with the same J ticket?
Thank you.

1. Theoretically shouldn't be an issue, if the lounge is open.
Qantas lounge only open 1430-2300, and BA nearby 1500-2300.
For same-day flights as you describe I'm guessing the first flight is in the morning.
2. Haven't lounge hopped at KUL but not had an issue at other airports.

From this review I'd say Plaza Premium First looks nicer than the revamped Golden Lounge

I doubt the stamp would be an issue as OW access rules should allow access to the Golden Lounge regardless but if you were to “lose” your original bp en route to KUL you could head to a transit desk and ask them to print you a new one, That way if one does get stamped you could later find the original and have an unstamped bp for access to other lounges.

Thanks IggySD for the tip.

The bigger problem for accessing the QF lounge in Singapore is that you may be refused due to capacity constraints. They are overflowing these days with qantas passengers.

Come during the early hours of opening and there's no issue. Been there more than 5 times recently, always quiet or even rather empty first 2-3 hours.

For question 2, why not visit the Golden Lounge before going to PP First? I've lounge hopped in KL before without problems, though I've yet to check out PP First (or any of the contract lounges in KUL for that matter). That said, did JL change its KL default lounge to PP First? The last time I took JL724, I was directed to the Cathay Pacific Lounge.
