Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - which lounge at Melbourne airport?

Hi
I am flying MEL-SIN by SQ on J. I am not sure which lounge is better at Mel airport. Should i go to the SKL by SQ or the Air Newzealand lounge? My flight is scheduled for departure at 1120hrs. So this will be in the morning.

This Thread could go to either the SQ Forum or Australia Forum. As you are asking for choices in Melbourne, I am moving this over to the Australia Forum.
Please follow there..
Thanks..

NZ lounge is better, but will be busy at that hour (plus they may not call the flight).

You also have the choice of using UA RCC, but that is by far the worst of the 3 lounges.

Hi, I concur with Kiwi Flyer, the Air New Zealand lounge is by far the nicest, the food is tastier maybe 2/3 hot dishes, but at this time TG use the lounge and on Fridays you also get a lot of New Zealanders believe it or not going home for the weekend, regards bkkrop

As stated by Kiwi Flyer and BKKROP the NZ lounge is much nicer (larger, more ammenities, etc) than the MEL SQ lounge (SKL).

However, I can confirm that SQ flight announcements are NOT made in the NZ lounge. You will need to keep an eye on the time to ensure you board your flight ontime.

At the time, the RCC offering in that area beat both of the others.
