I believe that you have nicely summarized how today's SQ coach experience 'works'. Scratch along the agreed lower boundary of required services....

But it's not a requirement for Star Alliance business lounges, so let's loose them!

Nor are business pax .... so your point is????
I would hazard to say that a significant number of Star Gold lounges do not have them.
So which full service carrier in Asia other than SQ does not offer showers in their lounges? I would not know any.

Nor would I know a European or Australian one for that matter.

But I guess the real standards for SQ's coach are some of the major US airlines.

I wonder if some of the lounge overhaul money will be spend on further crippling the *G lounge experience?
