Damn now I want to stay there from breakfast through to dinner!
Except I'd go crazy.

You can do leisurely strolls between the SSL and MLL just to keep things exciting. Or go people watch or boarding process watch for kicks and giggles.

The idea of getting there at ~7am (if I took 754) and leaving at ~8pm (846) is insane.

But surely the breakfast stays out a while and dinner menu is available by maybe 4?

suggestions for improvement :
- reading materials : in addition to the usual dailies, perhaps some quality stuff like Economist, GQ etc. Dont make me walk over to MLL for them.
- some self serve drinks .. while i like the idea of a staffed bar and table service, sometimes i just want to walk over and get a drink all by myself
- loungers/quiet room : I like the beds in FRA Sen lounge/TK and others. the Sig Suite is designed for stays 2-3 hours, not long layovers. the better premium lounges have amenities for J class pax who might be stuck in it for 5+ hours. the main features of this lounge is the food and a bar. thats it ? its not a lounge, its a restaurant.

Interesting question on this survey. I did NOT use the MLL. I used the SS.

As for reading material, in another thread last year, I posted how other airlines not only offer digital publications to download before a trip, but some offer it in their lounges. I have yet to post the awesome app and publications I had access to on my most recent SQ flights. LX offered it as well, but number of titles were based on one's status etc.
This is from the CX forum Nov 2017
I've seen that CX have been offering digital magazines and newspapers via PressReader in lounges, and now it appears to be have been integrated into the app. Great selection of titles to read!^
