Wish I'd known about the $30 option, even the McDonalds might be better than this. At least I was able to find a seat though, and there's plenty of power outlets.
Surely, SQ must be working on something for the future. If the LX lounge is vacant, perhaps the space is up for grabs for a new Silverkris lounge. I wish I still lived in London, I loved the SQ lounge at LHR so much.
My wife is at the Air India lounge now and even she notes that it is really poor quality. She got a bag of crisps and a warm soda - not great. We used points for this flight, but she notes that if we'd paid real $$$, she'd be quite upset.
Incidentally, she got an email from SQ noting that the VS Clubhouse was closed for a few days for renovations. Not sure what's going on, and she wouldn't have had access anyway.
