Yes I saw your reply to me on the QR board and was all set on using the QF F showers then I figured I�d check out the lounge thread on the QF board and hence my apprehensions�.

I find the water pressure, and ventilation of QF F showers to be poorer than the QR lounge. Also with QF unless you avoid the rush, there is often a long wait in the early evening. And then when it is rush time you are entering a humid and hot sauna.

As an hint for QR. I use the first shower along the left as you head towards the bathrooms. I believe this is the ambulatory shower or something like that, but it is well laid out, good toiletries, good ventilation and excellent pressure. Especially, as it is used by few if any people, you are not dealing with the humidity built up from the last 3-4 people.
EVerything with QR is helped by the fact the lounge is mostly empty. Everything with QF F is ruined by the fact the lounge is jammed to the rafters.

I have not used the BA showers, since the lounge was refurbed, but I do not think BA did anything, as their global view of showers is quite dim.

Thanks for the detailed response and the tips about using the accessible shower at the QR lounge. I should be arriving at changi around 5ish, which I�m guessing is the start of the evening rush for the QF F lounge. You also mentioned in your post from last year that surprisingly the QF J showers are good and better than the QF F and QR J showers?if I finish my meetings in Singapore on the earlier side of things, I�ll probably end up at changi a bit before the QR lounge opens. But im assuming if the QF F lounge is packed and there�s a line for showers there, the QF J lounge is gonna be worse and it isn�t even worth trying it.

My memory seems to disagree with other flyers - and it could have been what was available at the time. I remember the QF J showers having a very large bank of showers so that waiting was not an issue. And that they were larger than the BA J and QF F, so that the shuffle of floor wetness, humidity, and balancing around open carryon's and the like was better there. But ever since I found the tranquility of QR, I have not had the urge to go back. I did try the QF F showers the other month, as I was meeting someone there, and reminded me of all of the issues I have with the QF F lounge. I was there from about 5pm and enjoyed the first part, then took cover as the stampede from QF1/2 came in.

Any OWE in SIN F Lounge on 19 March and can guest me in? Anytime from opening time onwards. Many thanks!

Mod - if such request is inappropriate for this thread, please advise or move accordingly (I can't find a lounge meetup thread for the QF forum).

QP Meets - March 2025

​​​​hey carrotjuice I�m in SIN T1 now and can guest you into the QF F lounge if you want! Will be going to the QR lounge in like 30 mins but glad to help a fellow FTer!

Question as I'm not familiar with Qantas policy. I'm flying out of Singapore on a Qantas flight in economy. I'm a Oneworld emerald status holder with another airline. So I have access to the first or business lounge?

As a oneworld Emerald, if you are flying Qantas on a oneworld marketed and operated flight then you would have access.

As a OneWorld Emerald can visit BA business, QF business and QF first. If you like to go crazy you could go to T4 and try CX business but that requires a level of commitment to do. You can just do one, or sample all of the above. 😀

Thanks for your responses much appreciated

I wondered if anyone could post a copy of April's menu, please?

Had the Buffalo mozzarella and then the coconut braised beef. Both were nice. Was still a little
peckish so had the soup afterwards; it was okay.

Also just had Buffalo mozzarella. And also Roast porchetta, very tasty.

Had hoped the Chef Linda's Prawn Paste Fried chicken wings would return, better if it stayed as a Signature dish.

Probably a low cost dish too.
