There is an exclusive *G/Krisflyer EG check in row (row 4 IIRC). It's to prevent the common Raffles class check in row from being too clogged up with Y-flying *Gs.

As for the SATS Club (aka 'lowlife lounge for *Gs'), it's quite nice with lots of natural light and views of the tarmac. With all the lounges already so crowded during peak times, it'd be disaster if they didn't have a seperate lounge for Y-flying *Gs. And I don't think SQ F pax or elites get to access the FCT.

Even their own Krisflyer Golds in Y are exiled to check in at row 4 and the 'lowlife' lounge, you know. [/apologist mode off]

Oh well, bring on T3!
Quite agree. I fly regularly out of SIN and the SATS Premier lounges are quite decent in T1 (newly refurbished) and T2 in regards to drinks and food offerings though not like the SilverKris lounge. Maybe some SEN lounges in FRA and MUC and ??? are better but the SATS ones are fairly decent IMHO. Not sure when some people have been there for the last time but both have been updated in recent years. Yes, even SQ*G (when not PPS) go to the SATS Premier lounges and check-in at a special *G row so at least SQ is consistent in treating everyone the same unlike UA in this case.
