Any reports?

I received an email hinting at the possibility that the lounge has not been completed and that when checking in, TPPS passengers would be advised of alternative lounge arrangements.

I'd be interested to know what the actual state of play is too as I will be flying out in a couple of weeks' time.

I am there next week and have been researching this. It seems the AC and UA lounges are the only options for now. The AC lounge is reputed to be nicer but it may depend on the time of day you are passing through...

The SQ Lounge is not ready. Was given an invitation to the Plaza Premium lounge which is at the A gates. Also went briefly to the United lounge which is at the B gates.

Welcome to FT , aeronuts ! How ' s the UA lounge ?
Yes , not ready , disappointing

T2 itself seems to have a much better flow . ( Took us about 20 mins from disembarkation to car park , EU arrivals , including baggage claim . )
So will recce the AC / UA lounges

It is quite a hike from A gates to B gates ! Few shops , shopping best be done at A as advised at check in .

Lounge won ' t be ready till Nov according to gate gentleman .
It will be next to the AC lounge . AC has showers but seem very popular . Likely long wait .
Didn ' t visit UA lounge . Boots is located between AC & UA .

There seems to be an issue with lounges opening late at T2... it's not as though there wasn't plenty of notice of the date of transfer!

Following on from SQ's move to Terminal 2, has anybody visited the new lounge?
Would be good to hear some details and ideally see some pictures if you have.

Many thanks

What's the current arrangement then? Which lounges are used and are First and Business separated?

Any ideas when it's open? I'm flying to SIN in December.

FlyerEC

Any updates ? Still Nov opening ?

Wonder if these delays are a ' standard ' for airports world over .. Happening in HKG & MNL too

Premium Plaza or AC or LH or UA lounges.

Currently, it is the plaza premium. Flying suites home and Was hoping silver Kris would be open by time I Had my flight, no luck. This lounge is just full of people/business travellers. Not really first class experience.
