I asked and received an invitation to the Oasis Lounge and then walked through security before I realized it was prior to sec. Went back and checked it out and it is nice. SQ also let me board with biz/first class and were super friendly throughout the whole experience. At FRA, I used the Seantor lounges in A terminal before my flight to Berlin.

I am on this flight in November in C and was looking forward to the VS lounge, shame it'll be the Oasis or sitting around with the Y passengers.

yikes!
I haven't found the JFK-FRA route in C or F to be much different from any other routing with SQ. Both products are acceptible and are miles above anything offered by a US-based carrier.

Because we started from Chicago in the morning and took the transfer bus from LGA, I had hedged against possible delays by building-in some time that proved to be unneeded. Thus, we arrived at JFK at about 15.30, with the SQ CI not scheduled to open until 17.00. We went straight to the VS ClubHouse (so nice that it's landside!) to ask the dragon if we might wait inside for that hour-and-a-half. Showed her our SQ F tickets. She could not have been more welcoming! And what a delightful lounge that is.

1. Will the VSCH let her in with her yet to be checked baggage?
2. Since she has her F BP, if I don't have mine, I can be her guest until the SQ counter opens up, yes?

Erm ... because we didn't? (have the BPs). Which was why we had to go to SQ check in when they opened? To get them? Because we had to do the ground transfer between LGA and JFK, the check-in agent at ORD couldn't / wouldn't check us any farther than LaGuardia. When we got off the transfer bus at JFK, we were in effect 'originating' pax there.

I see. Sorry for being thick, but what tickets did you show her? Was it a paper ticket or an e-ticket receipt henry999?
Great, so in essence I just need to present two warm bodies and the "dragon" will take care of the rest.
