Recent Velocity Gold: SilverKris/KrisFlyer Gold Lounges?

Hi.

I recent made it to Velocity Gold membership status. I have a bunch of upcoming flights to Europe and back on Singapore Airlines. In looking here: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/my-velocity/benefits I was pleasantly surprised to find:

Singapore Airlines

Gold members flying with Singapore Airlines are eligible for a range of benefits including:

  • Priority Check-in
  • Priority Boarding
  • Singapore Airlines Lounge Access*
  • Priority Baggage Handling
  • Additional baggage allowance: - One additional bag (up to 23kgs in Economy Class and 32kgs in Business/First Class) when travelling to/from the USA and Brazil or - Additional checked baggage up to 15kgs when travelling to other international destinations

*If you are travelling on a flight operated by Singapore Airlines, you will have access to SilverKris Lounges owned and operated by Singapore Airlines, except for flights departing Singapore where you can access the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Note: No access to third party lounges.

That's pretty nice! My question is - does my Singapore Airlines ticket have to have anything special coded on it for me to get into the lounges? I'll be flying with my KrisFlyer membership account on the ticket unless I tell my travel agent to stamp the VA FF number on it.

Does it make any difference? I've just been able to link the VA FF to my KrisFlyer accoun and vice versa via their portals.

All I want to do is be able to get myself and my travel partner into the lounges at Brisbane international, then Singapore and back again in and out of Europe where the lounges exist, ultimately.

Thank you :).

QF Gold: oneworld lounge access on Finnair and Jetstar?

Hi.

QF gold/Oneworld Sapphire currently.

I have ended up in a situation where I need to get to Hamburg in a couple of weeks. I was originally all QF booked on emirates BNE -> DXB -> HAM and all was well.

DFAT and smart traveller upgraded to “do not travel” to Dubai and that has changed a few things.

Now I’m BNE —> ICN on Jetstar operated by Finnair, ICN —> HEL operated by Finnair, HEL —> HAM operated by Finnair.

May I use oneworld lounges wherever I am as a result, given Finnair is the code owner of all these flights?

My reading suggests that is the case - but I thought I should check in here with the wisdom of the experienced crowd.

Thank you.
