I've only used the "new" international lounge once (must be a couple of years ago now) and it seemed incredibly busy but I guess first thing Monday morning with everyone trying to get to Australia early that's to be expected. My next opportunity will be mid-afternoon (still a Monday) when I'm on an SQ flight. Hope it's less busy then
