Yes, I turned up from the lounge (having been well catered for by the waiters who insisted on refilling my glass ) to see a long queue for security before the gate.

I walked up to the end and looked for the usual priority boarding/fast track sign, but nothing there. I was on a phone call at this point, so when finished, I asked one of the Changi staff

"Is there a fast track"

She responded

"No, there's no fast track for you"

I pointed out I was in business class (op-up, but I digress)

"Oh, in that case it's down there"

I went "down there", but got sent back to the end of the line by the next security bloke.

I previously flew out of SIN in January, and I'm sure there was fast track security, but this was a gate I'd never been to before, and as I say my faculties were taking a later flight.

Nevertheless, still boarded the plane and was forced to have another glass of champagne.
