Lounge Guide: British Airways Lounge, Singapore

This guide gives information, reviews and photographs of the newly refurbished British Airways Lounge in Singapore, which opened on Tuesday 25 August 2015.

The lounge features the new British Airways Lounge concept, also available at EDI, GLA, BHD, AMS, IAD, BOS, DXB and CPT.

Opening hours: 15:00 hrs to until the last BA flight, typically 23:00 hrs.
Location: Terminal 1 airside (transit lounge). After the passport control, take the escalators on the left, when facing the Central Plaza, to Level 3. Escalators are by the Tumi store.

Lounge Access: Standard BA and oneworld rules apply, it can be used if flying on another oneworld flight.

Concorde Bar Access: BA First passengers only plus one guest. You get a 4 digit access code card when entering the lounge to operate the door. Concorde Room Cardholders do not have access unless travelling in First on BA.

Facilities: Showers (6), washrooms, food, drink (including alcohol), variety of seating, big screen TV, plenty of power (UK and USB ports), high bench seating, business area, wifi, printer, 2 PCs. No smoking facilities.

Alternative lounges: The Qantas Singapore Lounge is located next door to the British Airways Lounge, and is open for similar hours for all oneworld travellers. If travelling JAL you can use the SATS dnata lounge (as of July 27 2017). The dnata lounge is used by Finnair, nearer gate D30. Malaysia Airlines operate their own Golden Lounge in Terminal 2 and will accept other oneworld travellers, and dnata provide a lounge for Qatar Airways and Sri Lankan Airlines in Terminal 3.

In my experience the ccr is far from tranquil. Each booth has an individual tv screen and so noise blasts as they all listen to different channels.

Service is really poor. Drinks are CE level. Food takes a long time and is often cold and usually unpleasant.

Arriving First

Basically I think I get access by virtue of the first part, they say I get access by the second. Interested in opinion. Either way it's nice!

I am wondering if anyone has an update on the above. Access rules to the Concorde Bar have been tightened since the OP so I am curious whether arriving BA First and transferring to another oneworld carrier is enough for access these days.

The Concorde Bar is dead. Long live The Bar

Earlier this month Brandon Loo at Executive Traveller reported the rebranding of the Concorde Bar. It’s new title is simply The Bar.

We flew to SYD via SIN late June in F and it already changed name and the access cards had been renamed

How was the catering?

The staff member at reception told me in October that the contract was changing and improvements were planned?

A bit strange they wouldn’t call it The First Bar or something like that. The Bar would make me wonder ... why can’t I use the bar??

Agreed having First in the name would make it more obvious.
You've also only got a max of 28 F pax on BA12/16 so wonder why the change.

In reference to the QF Lounge next door.
The J lounge has now had the extra 70 seats added, the F lounge (which will be on the other side of T1) will open in Nov 2019

We discussed this in the https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31336829-post23.html topic last month. This is what I was told:

One of the staff said they understood that it was decided not to call it the 'First Bar' also to prevent access confusion (no Golds).
