Qantas invests in Singapore lounge expansion

From the ASX release this morning:

Spoiler
 
However, I can't seem to find this "separate release" with further information.

Open the sweepstake on the actual opening date...

And note the number of extra seats - surely a sign of the extent of the current over crowding problem!

Not thrilled, as a gold I did like the approach in SIN/HKG of having a better standard lounge for all.

Then you’d hate the way SQ operates its lounges in SIN. You’d be aware how they make sure you know that SQ *G is better than other airlines’ *G and that their Biz lounge is off limits to those with “only” *G. But that stops overcrowding ..

Incorrect, sorry: the SIN SKL J lounges are off-limits to all *G, including SQ.

You are correct (AFAIK) and my post does not state that SIN SQ J lounges are available to SQ *G.

You say " You’d be aware how they make sure you know that SQ *G is better than other airlines’ *G and that their Biz lounge is off limits to those with “only” *G ", which is open to being interpreted as meaning that SQ *G get access that other *G do not. Maybe reword this to make its intent clearer.

If it doesn't have a gym I honestly don't care. Anything else they might add compared with the existing lounge is surplus to requirements (at least for me). Although I suppose reduced crowding at peak times might be good.

Sitting in the SIN lounge again...

Good news: They've finally moved on from the Greek chicken dish. Some sort of lamb (by which they mean mutton...) curry instead.

Bad news: Just as crowded. Pro-tip, if coming from SIN use the early checkin lounge and get here well before 5pm when the inbound Euro crowds arrive.

Worse news: The KFC landslide in T1 has closed. Devastated.

Always liked the coleslaw at KFC Singapore, the AU/NZ ones are not quite the same
