From my experience, despite a much hyped and vaunted business class service, SQ's ground game is weak. Of the SilverKris lounges in TPE, LHR, HKG and SIN that I have visited, none have been very impressive- even the newly renovated ones at LHR and HKG. Certainly, they are not nearly as nice as CX's lounges at HKG or even some LH SEN lounges.

Note that at SIN, SQ segregates out the *Golds and their own Krisflyer Elite Golds, from J-class ticketholders and their premier PPS Club members. *Golds don't get to use the J-Class lounge (SilverKris Lounge) or the J-class check-in desks at SIN, but rather use the dedicated Krisflyer Elite Gold desks and Krisflyer Gold lounge. So, just to clarify, there are two 'classes' of SQ lounge at SIN- SilverKris for J-class and PPS, and Krisflyer Gold for *Golds and Krisflyer Elite Golds. As others have mentioned, the Krisflyer Gold lounges are pretty bog standard. Even the SilverKris Lounge at SIN feels a bit dated, with old fashioned dark decor, limited amenities and no views, but it is streaks above the Krisflyer Gold Lounge.

SQ is the only * carrier I know of that does this...
