For me in a similar situation (a couple of years ago) I showed my paper ticket and was admitted to VS CH. I still had to leave the lounge to get checked in though. Lounge reception had a list of names of eligible guests and my name was on it.

If they don't have *G status then the only lounge available is the Oasis lounge, and they will not be able to bring in a guest.

Hmm, our names will be on the list, but we have e-tickets, should be fine.

Actually, I've been meaning to comment about this flight and maybe now is as good a time as any. It was our first trip in SQ F, after quite a few in J. Somewhat disappointing! The trans-Pac in F on NH was far superior. One telling thing about SQ: I still have a pen they gave us in J about seven or eight years ago. It is _much_ nicer than the one we got in F this time!
cheers,
Henry

No pjs on 28 May. Amenity kit in a nice-looking 'Salvatore Ferragamo' bag but I can't tell you the contents since mine is still in the clear plastic outer wrapper, with a 'Security Sealed' sticker holding it closed. We never use this stuff; we bring the kits home and give them to kids we know, who get much more enjoyment out of them than we ever would.

Also, if I may ask, why was it disappointing?

I thought the service was very good as usual and the load was 7/12. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

) we flew SQ25 it was in C and all the way to SIN, so we didn't sleep on the way FRA in order to get a "proper" night's sleep on the way to SIN.

Just out of curiosity, did you find the service rushed at all in order to maximize sleeping time? The last time (only other time ) we flew SQ25 it was in C and all the way to SIN, so we didn't sleep on the way FRA in order to get a "proper" night's sleep on the way to SIN.
