You obviously haven't done much flying out of MNL! I was in this lounge a few days ago (flying SQ Business) and I must say it wasn't too bad; as the TR linked to above notes, the main drawback is the walk to the toilets.

Haven't heard any, so I suspect the SKL isn't open yet. I'm flying out of MNL in a few days; I'll update this thread when I find out for myself.

I was there just a week ago and it's definitely a makeshift lounge not to the standards of the usual krisflyer lounge. I'm not too familiar with why SQ opted to move to Terminal 3 but I would have hoped they did so after the completion of the KF lounge there. Good to know it will open next month.

SIN is the only airport (AFAIK) where there is a separate lounge for PPS/J class and KF/star alliance gold. At all other ports, including ones with recently upgraded lounges (such as HKG, SYD, MEL), gold members have access to the same lounges as PPS and business class passengers. Don't see why it would be any different at MNL.

Yes , rather warm even with the large portable fans , but ok as in a rather quiet zone . SKL should be ready in February , if not by March it seems .

Flying out in a Business class the third week of April 2015, I hope the new lounge will be ready by then. I've walked past the current one several times now on my way to and from The Pacific Club CX and DL use. It really looks like a poor set up, basically an area separated off with make shift walls, seems like very little privacy, as every one walking by to their gates can see you sitting there.
