This about SKL access at SIN, which is a special exception to the general rules. Elsewhere SKL is all there is and a *A card generally gets you in. At SIN you get the "premium" lounge or whatever, which is a shadow of the SKL lounge there.

Actually IME that's only true on LH (senator for *G and business for C). In SIN the *G lounge is markedly inferior to the "business" lounge.

However, it has always been a lounge into which *A travellers on a premium class BP's can enter. There have, over the years, been many reports by experienced, knowledgable, FTers of this kind of thing having happened. It has not happened to me, but it has to people whom I know.
When you hear hoofbeats, think horses NOT zebras. This isn't a change in policy, IMO.

If this reflects policy and not an on-the-spot rule invention, it is absolutely a change in policy. In the past I have gotten into SKL at SIN with a C boarding pass on UA or other *A carriers without question. When in Y with my *G card I have been politely turned away and redirected to the peasant lounge, I mean, ah, "gold" lounge.
