SQ's flagship lounge is still as 'glam' as before. But a facelift would be nice. One wonders why SQ decided to launch its new 'Home Away from Home' lounge concept in Sydney first. Anyway, if there is ever a gripe for SQ, it sucks that the lounge gets very crowded in the evenings even though the carrier restricts entry to the lounge in a big way.
I will say though that the lounge is the perfect opportunity to learn and understand that just because some people get to fly premium cabins, that does not show breeding of any kind. Some take the word lounge as a verb, as in something you do at home. Yuk. When I look at old Pan Am pictures, I wish people would still see travel as a luxurious privilege and come to airport appropriately so.
Anyway, coming back to the SQ's lounge, I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. At the end of the day, any seasoned traveler would really regard a lounge just as a place to escape the hordes outside, until they meet hordes inside (I'm talking LH lounge Mumbai!). And of course SKL Changi T3!
 |
| It started with Check In. |
 |
| Empty as usual |
 |
| The airport had tacky Chinese New Year decorations |
 |
| I wondered if they had the license to use Disney characters |
 |
| Really cute mobile displays |
 |
| Vaguely familiar. Changi might have been doing the time honored Singaporean tradition of 'lifting' established designs and IPs and appropriating them without having to pay fees |
 |
| Never saw this before, or never noticed |
 |
| Nice display though |
 |
| Another media wall outside the lounge |
 |
| Inside, dark, luxe, and cramped |
 |
| That night was like a bumper crop of hotties and everyone seemed to have lived in the gym...er hmmm...lats anyone? |
 |
| Papers....like anyone bothers to read them |
 |
| The way to the showers and restrooms |
 |
| Bread and Salad bar...maybe...can't remember if there were any greens there |
 |
| Fruits and dessert....weakest part of catering |
 |
| Food from every major culture in Singapore, from Malay to Indian to of course Chinese |
 |
| Rendang, sweet and sour fish, sushi and chicken drumlets |
 |
| DIY cold soba |
 |
| My fave tea when I fly SQ...there is a uniqueness to the blend that just reminds me of SQ |
