Hi,

Can someone give me an answer on what the lounge situation here is? The Star Alliance website only lists the OZ lounge - and the OZ website says it closes at 9pm. But SQ's website does list a Silver Kris lounge (googling mentions SQ's lounge in ICN has closed a number of years ago). I'm travelling in C and arrive at 8.50pm. If the Silver Kris lounge is there, what does it have inside? Any showers?

thanks

Is this new SQ lounge 'more basic' than the OZ lounge in the satellite terminal? I consider all OZ C-lounges in ICN to be pretty basic, when it comes to working space, reading material and food. Is the SQ lounge an improvement on that?

Not sure about the satellite OZ lounge, but definitely miles better than the main concourse OZ lounge, which was really dark and crowded, and the seats weren't nice either.

I think the SKL is definitely better than the Asiana lounge on all counts. The best thing about the SKL is that it has an open air design and faces out which lets in lots of light.

Actually, I find the OZ lounge in the main terminal to be much better than the SKL in the satellite terminal. Much better selection of food, more spacious and massage chairs to relax in. I generally have not had issues being able to get a table along the wall, where I can work in peace. The OZ lounge can get a bit crowded, but I find the SKL lounge to be always crowded just before a SQ flight; it's pretty small and barely accommodates all the First and Business class passengers on a flight, not to mention all the *Gold passengers in Economy as well.

The main advantage (to me) of the SKL is that being in the satellite terminal, it is about a 5 minute walk to the gate that you will depart from. The OZ lounge is in the main terminal, and so separated by the train. Not a huge issue if you plan ahead, of course.

I tried both the satellite OZ lounge and the Krisflyer lounge recently.

The OZ lounge was opened past 9pm. Not many people. There are massage chairs for you to take a rest.

Both offer showers with toiletries. Note, there are no toilet facilities within the showers. Toilets are separate.

In terms of food, SIA has better food selections at around 9 plus at night than the satellite OZ lounge. Both aren't wonderful, but OZ's choices are a bit dismal.

Not many people in the Krisflyer lounge or the OZ lounge at around 9 plus/10 pm on a Monday night.
