The staff walk around and hand them out. You don't even need to get out of you seat.

In SIN I actually prefer the J over the F lounge! I think the lack of pizza in the F may have weighted that preference
I'm pleased someone else enjoyed the pizza in the J lounge....maybe I could nip in their next time and grab a few slices before retiring to a quiet corner in the F.

That will serve no purpose to anyone ( other than provide a map to the lounge )

Those passes are given out at check in to 1st class passengers and their main purpose is to ensure that (a) the person is aware of their lounge opportunity and (b) to enable the person to find the lounge easily; they do not afford lounge access on their own other than with the appropriate Boarding Pass

The food is way better in the CX lounge in SIN. The QF/BA F lounge food has always been disappointing. The hot plates of food distributed during dinner is no better than a cheap food court.

While the ever present Dim Sum in the SIN Skyview lounge is fine, I believe the QF/BA F lounge has better catering; certainly "better than a cheap food court".

(Although I have had some wonderful feeds in "cheap food court"s.)

Now here's a thing, back in my SG days I would always prefer to use the Skyview lounge over the QF/BA J lounge as IMHO the food is better there.
